Wa ‘Alaikum Salaam,

 

Your current situation must be very distressing for you, especially when you can’t be sure of its cause; whether it is a physical condition or some kind of possession or magic. The first thing you could do is seeking medical advice to rule out any underlying condition that could cause these symptoms. A doctor might do blood test and perhaps an MRI scan to rule out any neurological condition or anything physical that could be the cause of these symptoms.

 

You also mention that you used to be fit and never took medication in the past, so you might want to increase your exercise. Again, regardless of what the cause of your symptoms is, exercise will benefit you. It has been proven that it works in the same way as using anti-depressants due to the chemicals released during exercise that combat symptoms of depression.

 

In the meantime, listening to the Qur’an as a form of ruqya and engaging in as much dhikr (remembrance of Allah) as possible will certainly assist you both in the case of magic/possession and medical condition as well. They will benefit you, regardless of the causes of your symptoms.

 

There is no certain way to tell if your problems are a result of jinn possession or magic, but if all medical conditions are ruled out, then you could seek to have ruqya performed by a professional. Make sure that the person is qualified and reputable. You can find someone in your area by asking at your local masjid. In sha’ Allah, the imam will be able to recommend someone if he himself is not able to help out in this case.

 

May Allah (swt) ease your pains and discomfort, heal you and grant a solution to your ailment.

 

Salam,
