numbness, in right side of head and arm, neck and spinal pain, forgetfulness?

Question

I'm 17, 5 weeks ago i started to feel very tired and spaced out for about a week. i went to my doctor who thought it was a virus as my temperature was up. I was given blood tests and prescribed tablets which didn't work. Few days later started suffering from migraines and confusion. 
I went back to the doctors, given a physical examination but there was no signs anything was wrong. my blood tests came back clear. ever since i have felt the same with no improvements and then started to feel numbness and burning pains in right side of my head, feeling very dizzy around a lot of people with things becoming blurry.

I went back to doctors as my head on right side and arm were numb, & theres crunching noises in neck and spine. I have been referred to a neurologist, but isnt for another 6 weeks.

i am still the same, and starting to feel forgetful and unable to go outside as i am dizzy and sensitive to light. my head/face also feels tense.

i am normally healthy, anyone any ideas?

I am sorry, I am going through close to the same thing. I am a 24 year old, mom of 3...
I have been reading stuff online, and im finding that it could be stress, high blood pressure, or something wrong with your back like a disc issue...
I am going to my doctor this week to figure it out!
GOODLUCK!

this looks as if you are right handed. You have a compression of a nerve or nerves on the right side of the neck. Usually one that comes out of the spine. Muscles and tendons can be overused and go into spasm (cramp) and cause this, and its a fairly long haul getting it right again. Physical massage,using a heat massage cream, is a huge help and an electric hand held health vibrator for that type of massage is cheap and very effective.(do not use it when the cream has been applied) Take two paracetamol at night as lying on it makes it worse. It can effect sleep patterns and make you very tired in the day. You may even need two twice daily at first with meals for around a week. If you can get Ibuprofen-arginate it will give immediate relief. A much more targeted pain killer that paracetamol. Nerve compression spreads down the arms and up through the 12 cranial nerves into the head. You can get a very sore spot over one eye and if you press firmly on that spot for a moment or two with a finger tip it will go away. Minimise the use of your right arm and in future try to be more balanced with the use of left and right.
