I have suffered from anxiety for years now. Every time I think I have something it turns out to be nothing to worry about. Now my family looks at me as the boy the cried wolf when I say I'm not feeling well.
Lately I have been under a lot of stress for many reasons and it's been a struggle. In the past 3 weeks I have gotten headaches and pressure behind my eyes. My equaliberium seems a tad off too. I have convinced myself that it's a brain tumor for some reason. I don't know why looking at symptoms on the internet always makes me crazy and think the worse.
I know the easy thing is to go to dr, but then I get terrified of that and the fear of finding out something is wrong with me. It seems like it's a vicious cycle and it's consuming my life.
I function fine at work, but when I get off I'm a mess....
I don't know anymore what is caused by anxiety and what's real. I'm sure this may be sinuses by I fear the worse.
Hello I just want you to know what that while I may not be able to give an exact answer I know exactly what your going through my anxiety had convinced me I have anything from heart disease to strokes to other crazy diseases. It has even sent me to the de many times where I am always told it is just anxiety. I would recomend talking to your doctor about prescription medication to treat anxiety and maybe seeing a therapist also try not to check your symptoms online as anxiety is easily able to mimic terrible desieses
hi cj42697
. I have very similar things happening to me like you get them. For incidents if I get a sore throat for any reason I think it's automatically cancel if I get a slight headache. I think it is a brain tumour. I very rarely leave the house now because I'm too afraid to just in case something happens to me. It never has yet, but I can't seem to get that in my head that nothing is going to happen to me. I've been suffering roughly with this for eight years now, so I know where you are coming from with it. And I'm in the same situation as you I don't take medication for it because the feelings are so strong inside me. I'm frightened to go and see a doctor, so I try to cope with it myself. I'm lucky I've got a very understanding wife and family. You take care my friend and I hope you get it all sorted out and get your life back on track. If you find a way of doing it, please let me know any help is better than no help. Plus it's nice to know you're not the only one with it. That deal with it on a daily basis. That's why I joined this site. I feel more reassured reading other people's problems like mine and yours anyway. Take care my friend
It is reassuring to know your not the only one suffering with this type of stuff. It's very frustrating for me and I get mad at myself.
Hi
Hope your feeling better
I get bad headaches from my neck stress makes them worse .
When i get these headaches from my neck i feel off balance or head heavy and drunk like .
I have disc degeneration of my neck with bone spurs and also slippage of the upper vertebra.
My neck joints become stiff from these neck problems , i go to physiotherapy for this and it helps .
If you have tight muscles in your neck it can cause a host of different symptoms also if your c1 c2 c3 neck joints are dsyfunctional it will also cause lots off horrid symptoms .
Chroinc anxiety can cause tight muscles in your neck , shoulders , and the front of your neck also .
Maybe get a good professional massage a deep tissue one and see how you go .
I've gone into my 2nd week with a daily headache and i also have a sense of not feeling steady and my thinking feels foggy , and nausea , a drunk feeling to.
Im seeing my regular neck doctor this afternoon so im hoping she will fix my stiff neck todau and these feelings buzz off .
