Severe headaches accompanied by neurological signs such paresthesias warrants a prompt neurological examination and imaging studies of the brain(MRI and CT scan of the brain) in order to get a correct diagnosis.

Conditions to take in consideration include brain vascular malformations, Chiari malformation, brain mass, etc.

Please discuss with your Neurologist about these issues.

Brief Answer:
Anxiety and stress disorder to be considered too.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.

If the CT scan of the brain resulted okay, anxiety and stress disorder should also be considered.

However, a clinical examination by a Neurologist is still necessary in order to be sure that there's no neurological disorder that is causing such symptoms.

Hope this helps.

Greetings.
