Question and Answers

‎I am a 22-year-old medical student with a history of OCD. Currently, I suspect an inadequate blood supply to my brain. I experience irritable sensations within my skull that eases when I put candy or chew sugary chocolate in my mouth. Deep breaths also momentarily eased the situation all the time I took them. These sensations, which generally ensue when I put the brain to work, are at times accompanied by tinnitus. Verbal communication is enough brain work to trigger these. Also, these symptoms never disappear after casual meals unless I eat till my stomach stretches. I have had multiple cases of gastroesophageal reflux. These sensations have also manifested post-sleep even though I had eaten till stomach stretch just before sleeping in some of the cases. As pertaining academics and cognitive ability, my cognitive ability decreases with the onset of these sensations. I probably experienced pain in some instances inside my head when trying hard to reason, bring to memory or execute motor functions in a way I could do in the past. My academics has gone downhill - I used to be a top student but I just finished my resit exams Could I get a diagnosis? I currently do not use any medication ‎
