What Causes Stiffness In The Body And Pressure In Forehead?

default
Posted on Wed, 8 Jun 2016
Question: Hi, I have been to the doctor for this several times, but just dismissed every time with no diagnosis. I have been feeling awful for the last 6 months or so, and in the last 2 months it's gotten much worse. I'm a 36 yo female. My whole body is stiff, I have trouble thinking straight, and I can't remember anything from moment to moment. My head is constantly hurting - dull pressure in my forehead. It's almost like how you feel if you haven't eaten in a long time, but this never gets quelled. I've also been inexplicably gaining weight.

Brief Answer:
It seems either thyroid or depression issue

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Helthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

From the available description there is enough evidence of hypothyroidism as unexplained wait gain, feeling different/awful, difficulty in thinking can occur. I think most importantly get your thyroid status checked as it is more common among young women.


I think second possibility for me is depression. Even many of GPs don't understand about depression and find it difficult to diagnose it even when there are clear symptoms.

Thanks
