Question : For the last two weeks I have had a deep pressure feeling above my right ear and right base of my head. I feel unfocused, confused at times, and my legs feel funny. What could be causing these problems?

Brief Answer:
Please meet a neurologist

Detailed Answer:
Hello

There can be many reasons for your complaints including diabetes but it is most likely that there may be a central nervous problem. Therefore i would suggest that you meet your neurologist, who will examine you and guide you further.

He may ask you to do a ct scan or mri scan of the brain, to find out what may be the exact cause for your complaints.

Please do not delay and meet a neurologist soon.

I would also advice you against driving and lifting heavy weights.

Take care!
