What Causes Cold Sensation In Head?

Hi Doctor, I haven t been able to fall asleep for the last couple of days, and I am getting a cold sensation that is running into my head. Why is this? Should I be worried about it? I m a student and I have a very heavy schedule, the stress may be one of the causes I can t fall asleep.

Hi there, I am not certain why you might be getting this cold sensation. It's not caused by any neurological process or illness I am aware of. Are you getting fevers or chills otherwise? I think that you are right, the stress is most likely the reason you are having trouble sleeping at night. You could try an over the counter benadryl (diphenhydramine 25 mg) at night for a week to see if it helps you sleep.
