2) head numbness and head aches on and off.. initially 3 months back i was feeling numbness in head from sleep but later it disappeared..from last 4 days again feeling the symptoms and also weakness...sleep disturbances & allergies i the head...

3) also noticed recent bloods mcv ,hemocyte& haemoglobin are just below the range.

Can anyone please guide me or suggest me what should be done for my unintentional weight loss and head numbness..my GP recently referred but not as emergency appointment waiting time is 18 weeks in NHS..

Check you PTH , active vitamine D and calcium level.

If your calcium is high and your PTH also you might have hyperparatheroid.

When this is the case you may not taken vitamine D pills this causes headaches and hartproblems.
