I noticed when I get nervous etc I start getting this strong shooting pain on my head... sometimes both sides or just one. It comes and goes... feels like a quick zap! Anyone else going through this or have heard of it being associated with anxiety?!
Hi
Yes I know what you mean. I get a shooting pain behind my eye or in my head ans sometimes in my jaw. I assume its because when we get anxious our neck and back muscles tense up and I wonder if it is a trapped nerve or just muscle tension. Then again I sometimes wonder if my pains are real or imagined as part of my anxiety!
It's called brain zaps it is a very common symptom of anxiety. It is also a symptom of coming off certain medicines
