After a row of good days I've started to get shooting pains in my head. Very scary and worrying.
I try convince myself I'm fine but the dreaded thoughts take over. It's a stoke, brain bleed bla bla bla and I start to panic.
Its so hard to to believe this is all anxiety!! The symptoms are so harsh!
I have the same problem currently. I've had these random head pressure/pains just come and go all throughout my head (usually one at a time). It scares me so much I've had them for the past 6 months since I had my first panic attack. I even had a CAT scan done in March and everything was fine. But I still just get scared because they come out of NOWHERE! Even when I'm not anxious.
Therefore, having these random head pressures cause anxiety.
Are your symptoms like mine?
You would have passed out if it was a stroke or brain bleed, so you needn't worry about that.
However, of course if you have anxiety worries you will overthink all this and come up with plenty of (unrealistic) explanations for your symptoms.
health anxiety is a horrible thing, but you need to try to tell yourself that this is what is you are experiencing. I know it's very difficult.
Yeah that pretty much sounds like me 😕 they are scary. What do you do when you get them?
Yes that's what my husband said.
I do try and have been doing better but sometimes it gets me into a state and I can't reason with myself.
Anxiety = the ability to turn any situation into the worst one possible lol
Thanks for the reply.
I use a heating pad and wrap it around my neck until the pains ease. I'm glad I'm not alone in this
