I am a 55 yr old who takes medication for ADD (Adderall)...I am seen by a psychiatrist and monitored regularly.  I have been extremely tired and sometimes can barely hold my eyes open lately, and even am falling asleep on the way home from work.  I get about 8-9 hours of sleep a night.  Now I have a small moveable lump on the right neck which hurts all the way up to the bottom part of my skull  (I have a sore on my head from a cabinet door that I hit).  Could this lump/pain in my neck be a result of the infected area on my head where I hit it?  OR could it be one of the reasons I am so sleepy all the time?
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With all probabilities, the lump is an inflamed lymph node due to the infected sore on your scalp/head. If I were your doctor, without interfering with your present treatment, after a clinical assessment would advise you regular would care of the scalp and in addition a broad spectrum antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor.  For more sleepiness, I your possibly need a review of your medications by your psychiatrist. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
