I have never been diagnosed with anxiety, but I have been a worried person all my life. Most of the time I just tried to push past it, but lately the symptoms I have started to experience are affecting my quality of life. Over the past 10 months, I have had this weird pulsating feeling in my head going from my temples to above my ears and down to where my jaw muscles are and along the lower jaws. I have had pins/needles feeling towards the back of my tongue. I feel like my jaws can not settle into a good relaxed resting position and I am constantly aware of it throughout the day and especially at night when I am laying down trying to fall asleep. This becomes very annoying and almost brings on minor dull pain/headaches after a while. It is very hard to explain the feeling in my head...I see a lot of people experiencing tension headaches with anxiety, but I wouldn't describe this as a headache. It feels like I have this rush, pulse, hurried feeling. It makes it difficult to concentrate. I have never had a seizure, but if I had to guess what the on-set of a seizure feels like, this would be it. It almost always happens when I am driving or sitting in a long meeting or exercising. Whenever it happens, I always get very moody/irritated/non-responsive and almost always end up touching my face/temple area as almost like a way of trying to center myself (like its my go to crutch). I notice my hands and jaws are shaky in the mornings and sometimes throughout the day. Sometimes, I have trouble even being able to write on paper due to tremor-like shaky/weak feeling in my hands(however this seems to go away most of the time). I have had occasional issues waking up abruptly gasping for air just before dosing off at night (may happen once or twice a month). I have had 2 MRIs in the past 8 years to check what it going on physically, but both time they came back clear. I've had blood work done to check my thyroid, which was also fine. My doctor prescribed .50mg of Alprazolam back in September, and I usually only take it when the feeling occurs at work. It does help make the feeling go away temporarily. Alcohol helps it go away for a few hours, but the rest of the night I am awake and this feeling intensifies, along with a heavy heartbeat. I can't even enjoy a night of drinking now because I don't want to face the night-time anxiety/hangover. My biggest fear, is that it could be the early onset of a serious Nervous System disease or Autoimmune disease. I guess I am not fully convinced it is anxiety, because I have nothing in my life that is super stressful or that I harp on. I only want to feel like I used to and find out what is causing this. I have friends and family that I talk to about this and it helps a little, but the physical symptoms of it always show up. I just start taking 600mg of Ashwganda / Magnesium Calm at night/ and drink plenty of water/ along with men's multivitamins each day. I guess what I really want to know, is that I am not overlooking something serious that would cause this weird feeling in my head and my restless jaw. Any advice would be mush appreciated. I empathize with everyone on here and have read a ton of stories on here that I can relate to. I wish I would have found this site sooner.
