I'm experiencing headaches frequently and I'm really worried. I already visited an ENT doctor, but the headaches keep coming back. What could be causing them and should I see a different specialist?

Headaches can have various causes, including stress, dehydration, eye strain, or even underlying medical conditions. For relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache. Make sure to stay hydrated, practice good posture, and manage stress levels. If the headaches persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your primary care physician for further evaluation and management.

Ive been having trouble sleeping in my bed because my body gets totally numb. Its gotten to the point where Ive started sleeping on the floor instead. But even when I use a soft pillow, my head still goes numb. Is there any way to fix this? I'm really worried about what's going on.

Numbness in any part of body indicates some involvement of nerves. It could be due to bad posture or nerve compression. If it is due to improper posture, it will resolve with correction of posture. If numbness is persistent, Consult a Neurospine specialist.
