Hi, my friend is experienceing numbness in his face, and especially forehead, a headache in the back of his head, exhaustion, low blood pressure, and slightly blurry vision, would you be able to offer some advice or information that might help? I've heard that it could be caused by a lot of anxiety or stress, but we need better and more immediate answers. Could you help?

Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your friend is having different symptoms related to different systems of the body. We need to consider multiple possibilities in this case, which need to rule out before considering stress and anxiety as a cause. This kind of problem can occur due to:
-Anemia: get CBC done.
-Hypotension: Monitor BP
-Vitamin deficiency: Take healthy diet
-Stress and Anxiety
-Neuropathy

Although current symptoms (numbness in face/forehead, headache, exhaustion, low blood pressure, and blurry vision) occur very commonly in stress and anxiety, but first, to narrow down diagnosis it is must to have detailed history and examination. For that you can visit nearby general physician to rule out above causes.

Wish you good health and all the best.

Regards,
Dr Ashish Kumar Mittal
