Hello,
I was diagnosed with GAD. For the last 12 months, I have constant head pains (like burning and needles) on my scalp and forehead all day and every day. I also feel chest pains frequently all day, every day. Do you have symptoms like mine?
those are very common symptoms of generalized anxiety. And yes I have had those plus many more. Keep in mind that any symptoms caused by anxiety cannot hurt you. The main thing you want to do is be able to somewhat manage the anxiety because then you’ll have less symptoms.
try to think of what is causing the anxiety in your life. Speaking to a counselor can really help a lot because they can help you with the issue and decrease the anxiety. There’s also some great meditations for anxiety on YouTube. I listen to these every day especially when lying down to go to sleep. They really help me sleep well. Make sure you always have A physical check up with your doctor at least once a year. Try not to focus so much on the symptoms but focus more on reducing the anxiety. Trying to keep busy and do things that you enjoy. Also the proper breathing is the key to relaxing the anxiety. There’s meditations on YouTube for that also. Take care of yourself you will be fine!
Thank you. I have been taking medications. I hope I will be back to “normal” sometime.
I’ve had GAD and depression going on 2 years in Late September. I don’t recall ever having this dreamy, hot flash head feeling. I’m just trying to vent I suppose. I had a friends death, close roommate move out, make an ass out of myself in front of my friends at a wedding,.. I suffer from a reliving past experiences as well. I wake up in the morning with black thoughts/reliving past old negative experiences and make grunt like sounds… (weird I know).. I can’t even describe the emotionally anxiety I have to deal with. I need someone who understands..-
