I'm feeling this weird cold sensation at the back of my head. It happens mostly at night, and the only thing that seems to help is wearing a woollen cap while I sleep. Sometimes I feel it during the day too. I've tried putting cotton in my ears, which helps a bit but doesn't completely fix it. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been feeling really weak and fatigued for the past week, along with more hair loss and burning sensations in my hands and legs. I also have constant headaches, poor memory, and trouble sleeping deeply just restless sleep with bad memories. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency a month ago and took Subneoro for 10 days after my piles laser surgery. My CBC is normal, no iron deficiency, and calcium levels are good too. Are all these symptoms just from B12 deficiency or could there be something else going on?
