What Causes Drowsiness And Headache While Watching Tv?

jumping straight to it. So about a couple months ago i notices whenever i have down time just watching tv i start to have a hard time staying awake but its like my motor skills stop working. it will become hard to keep my head up, i cant talk or open my eyes, its painful (headache and neck) an i know whats going on around me but it will only last a few mins than i feel awake again.. last month it happened, my head started to fall tours the edge of the chair an my mom was worried i was gunna hit my head on the stand next to me. she began to yell at me to wake me up but i was up and i could hear her and i tried to keep lifting my head.. i figured it was because i was tired but i get 8hrs of sleep a night an now it has began to happen at work when we arent busy. ill be standing at my register and ill get a headache and start to feel a shake to my neck.. i feel like if im moving doing something it doesn t happen.. i dont know what to think about it an i know it sounds crazy but i dont know what type of doctor to see an dont have insurance or money to bounce around.

Hi,

If these things happen only when you are watching television and do not happen when you sit relaxed in any other place, then it has to stress issue. In any case, do consult a physician for an investigation.
