Hi,

It may be hemiplegic migraine or cervical spondylosis with nerve root compression or anxiety or tension headache with generalized weakness. Please get it done cervical X-ray, hemoglobin status, CT brain.

Avoid stress related activities, use tablet Naprosyn twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
