What Causes Brain Fatigue Along With Drowsiness?

I need a real neurologists opinion. As bizarre as it sounds for around 6 months I haven t felt feel fully awake and alert. When I m walking around it feels like I m in some foreign foggy dream. It s a drowsy/groggy/drugged feeling. It affects my focus big time. It s very uncomfortable. * After awhile I noticed that my brain would fatigue with focus on things like simple that I used to do easily: I.e. reading, memory, conversations, thinking things through, etc. I can literally feel the strain/tensing at times. And that is what truly has me concerned. Did Blood Work: B12 low end of normal. I then went to the hospital and the routine bloodwork and CT scan were normal. Month 2-4: About a month after this my entire head feels semi numb (hard/stiff) from front to back. It doesn t feel quite the same as a headache and it s NOT relieved by ibuprofen. Its also light, as if there s lack of blood flow, oxygen, or normal activity going on. It feels like I can t absorb all the way what s going on around me. My head also feels smaller in size. Month 5: Primary care doctor did full exam and general blood work w/ CRP for generalized inflammation. All normal. My nerves have become much more sensitive. Things seem more intense. (lights, sounds, images, being outdoors) ***This is all day long. Other issues: Vision distorted/foggy (colors look enhanced too) Fatigue Tight neck needing to be popped I can no longer take coffee or foods with sugar If I do I ll feel way more spaced out. sleep is light and sometimes I will wake up feeling disoriented Just 6 months ago I was fairly active, working, healthy sex drive, decent shape. I haven t been sick with anything in years! This did come on shortly after some serious emotional stress from family. But still this is crazy. Any idea as to what could possibly be going on here? I m only 37.

Hi,

If all investigations you did were normal, you could have psychological fatigue (neurasthenia). You need vitamin B complex tablet and sulbutiamine (Arcalion).

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

Regards,
Dr. Dr/Mustafa, Neurologist
