Hi there.

Thanks for writing in.

The two possibilities I can think of are Anxiety , Migraine. Migraine can cause headaches and sensitivity to light etc. However most of your symptoms fit in with anxiety.

Please sign up for yoga classes. Exercise 30-45 minutes a day for 5 days a week might also help. Eat well balanced meals and drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
