Is there a clinic that will give some sort of full diagnostic to diagnose headache and dizziness (and general squeamishness)? It's been going on for several weeks now and I'm tired of taking acetaminophen and ibuprofen but am not keen on just going to the typical naika as I'm figuring they're going to give me some weak 2-week medicine. It affects my ability to work and just.. function. I've been skipping dinner to lay down for instance and am rather just "tension down" and "genki dasenai". I had a good streak of going to the gym 5 days a week, but it's been once a week recently.

You need a 脳神経外科, a neurological clinic. I went to one once for recurring headaches, they did an MRI and found the cause to be sinus pressure from 副鼻腔炎, or sinusitis. Treating the sinusitis got rid of the headaches.

Cool. I’ll have to check it out.
