Hello,
I really hope this doesn't get deleted but I'm new here and but back in February I started getting headaches in one part of my head top right hand side. Went to the ER they did a CT scan and said it was fine I did however have the flu so they sent me home with medicines to help treat my symptoms I kept getting headaches and my anxiety started getting worse I didn't want to be alone I didn't wanna sleep in my room I started sleeping in my moms room my worse thought was that I was having an aneurysm and was starting to get really bad anxiety attacks I was about to calm myself down before going into full blown attack I saw my GP 2 weeks ago and he said he wasn't 2 worried about an aneurysm cause I'm 26 years old and don't really meet the risk factors I begged him for an MRI he did schedule me one but do to recent sereve weather in my area it got pushed back another week since I saw my GP my headaches have not been on top of my head but on the side now like a pulling sensation with pain above around something in my eye and I started getting minor eye twitching.. And my anxiety is getting worse last night after a thunderstorm I had a panic attack should I go to the ER ?
I'm really scared and freaking out please help
Hi Rachael, it does sound like anxiety, and the sore spots on head are probably muscle tension.
You have had a ct scan, and your dr isnt worried, i think you should try to believe that everything is ok, even the twitching is a common anxiety syptom.
Remember the more you fixate on all the symptoms the worse they will get.
If you,are really worried then go to your gp, or er, or wherever they can reassure you.
When you feel anxious or panic, try to do some dee p breathing, slow your breaths right down, breath in through your nose, and out your mouth, count to 5, as you breath in and out, try to breathe in your belly rather than your chest. Keep going for as long as needed, it may sound like something of nothing but it does help,.
Please dont go googling symptoms it will only make you worse, instead google things like meditation for anxiety downloads, or efp tapping for anxiety,
You will get through this, it may take a while but you will get there, ....
Wendy,
Thank you for your reply. I'm hoping it's just anxiety and tension I am driving my family nuts. I do have an MRI scheduled but as I said in my original post my MRI which was suppose to be today but got pushed to yesterday as now been pushed back to Weds the 12th due to horrible weather in my area I hope I can make it till then. With my anxiety and not have to go the ER cause one time when I went years ago due to constant headaches and more the ER doctor told my family I was making it all up for attention so I try to avoid the ER less I really have to go there I will try your advice about the breathing I have a really good friend who also deals with anxiety who I can talk to who tells me to breath and focus
