Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache, lack of concentration and stiffness in hands. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query depression , head injury , sleep apnea , hypoglycemia, medication reaction or side-effect or iron deficiency. I would suggest to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , urine test , take history along with check vitals . Doctor may prescribe iron supplement , refer to psychiatrist or may recommend CPAP machine . For now take proper diet , drink plenty of water and do light exercises.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
