Mixing words when writing, wierd feeling around right temple, memory problems

12 weeks ago i started having a really wierd form of headache. it started as numbness / tingling / pressure on the skin around the right temple. then expanded towards other forms of headaches such as a headache on the entire right side, to pain on pinpoint parts of the head. Then i started getting some short-term memory problems, or not a lack of memories being written. aswel as starting to mix up words. earlier I was gonna write "fight" but wrote "fit" or "lie" instead of "like and so forth.
over the past couple days ive also been having problems with chest pain

That being said, ive struggled with depression in september, and ive been sturggling with anxiety and paranoia for the past 4 weeks.
Is there a connection or is there a probability of it being something much more serious

Hi and welcome,

Your question has landed in the MS community but it would be a huge leap to be thinking MS could be the most likely explanation, i would strongly suggest you see your doctor if you haven't already, 12 weeks straight is a long time to have a headache or migraine!

Keep in mind you have been dealing with depression, anxiety and paranoia so It really wouldn't be in your best interest to give a lay persons opinion on whether or not it sounds serious or not, there could be a connection to your mental health situation but honestly your better off seeing your dr and probably getting some tests done...

Sorry i couldn't be of more help.......JJ
