Brief Answer:
need some details.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I can understand your concerns.

You feel hot from inside, thirsty and bad headaches.

I would need some more details to reach to a proper conclusion:
1. Do you have any kind of stress and anxiety?
2. Do you have pain in body at other sites, other than headache?
3. Hows your sleep and appetite, mood, energy levels?
4. Do you take any medicines, under gone any tests?
5. Any other medical illness?

Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
mixed anxiety-depression syndrome.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the details.
Sorry for the delay in response.

Considering all the details given, I can think of following diagnostic possibilities in your case:
1. Mixed anxiety-depression syndrome.
2. Chronic fatigue syndrome.

In either of the case, I would suggest initiation of anti-depressant drug treatment.
Drugs like fluoxetine or escitalopram should help. Other then this, zolpidem can help in sleep.

Apart from this,
Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.
Get evaluated for thyroid disorder. Go for TSH, T3 and T4 levels.

Kindly consult your local psychiatrist.
Donot take any medications on your own as these are all prescription drugs.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
