Been having these pains for nearly a year now, struggle with day to day things some days. Seems to come on mainly when I'm relaxed or laying in bed? Forehead feels numb and fuzzy, a lot of temple pain feels like someone is constantly pushing on it, pain in the back of eyes and tingling sensation in head build up of pressure and sharp stabbing pains in my head. I keep thinking of the worst like I've got some brain tumour or something! Been to doctors and they've put it down to anxiety and I've been on a few different type of medication but doesn't seem to help much? Anyone else got these same sore of problems!
no don't assume the worst like a brain tumor, but if you're worried go to GP and ask for some tests to be done... Well yes it might be due to your anxiety, but not all anti-depressants or drugs prescribed from a doc will work straight away for everyone, plus all side effects, consider if it'r really worth taking it (side effects of coming off different drugs too). There are natural ways that you could try for your anxiety perhaps, also exercise (increases serotonin in your brain , drink water! Thinking about brain tumor too much will make you even more worried that there might be something wrong.
TMJ/TMD
I have all the same symptoms from my anxiety. The pressure in head is called a tension headache and the biggest relief for that for me has been to always make sure
My shoulders are down and my posture is good! Also chiropractor!
Thanks for the reply 👍🏻 And yeah I know it's hard not to though, when the pain gets so strong! I go to the gym abit but when Ive finished work it's like my body is telling me to go home and not go to the gym. Feels like I'm at war with my own mind! I'll try not to think of BT, I'm going to go back to doctors and see if they will run some more tests for me. Cheers ☺️
Thanks for the reply ☺️Well that's made me feel abit better knowing someone has the same symptoms not that we deserve to have this! Yeah my doctor told me the same and told me to do some yoga. I get a lot of neck strain and tightness so it's maybe that that's causing the pain I don't know. Just a horrible feeling tbh!!
Hi Reece yes I have been experiencing these same symptoms from my anxiety for almost 2 years now I've had MRIs of my brain and head. Here are a list of my symptoms
Weird headaches that are hard to explain
Tightness in my head
Scalp soreness
Tingling in my head
Feeling like something is crawling under my scalp
Sharp shooting temple pains and head pains
Ear pains
Forehead pins
Pain behind my eyes and nose shoulder and neck pain like a pinched nerve
And the list goes on and the are only the head pains I get I didnt even mention the other pains I get throughout my body long story short the MRIs came back clear and all the blood work came back clear Dr says I'm healthy with health anxiety if that makes since lol anxiety I very scary but hang it there it will get easier to deal with but doesn't really go away permanently . I myswlf fought through it for years now without any meds. I'm here if you want to talk you can also p.m. me
Omg thats all the symtoms I have also thank you for putting that up I thought I was going crazy thinking i had a tumor or getting a brain clot and having a stroke. I have alot of health anixety i think it all started when my mom died from a car accident then I had a big tour bus accident the bus crashed and i had to get back surjury few years later my dad dies from lung cancer then a close friend had a major stroke
now is not able to talk or walk now all this just made me think all this crazy stuff that im gonna die of something or get killed in a acccident. Its just make me think crazy stuff. I was on medication but i think it made me worse i tried to coment suicide once i overdose on pills . I just started seeing a therapist its helping some what but I dont know what to do about taking medication im scared it will do somthing to me..
Yes I believe is hard not to when the pain gets strong, and yes good that you're going back to the doc to have some more tests done and the thought of going hope that it put your mind at ease and you'll worry less about the BT! Re gym possibly your body tells you to go home, because you're tired after work, but brain could use serotonin so maybe go few times a week? Slowly step by step take care
I dont prefer taking meds unless you literally can't cope with it at all. I didnt take meds but let me tell you I fought a very very tough fight with my anxiety and I'm still battling it daily just dealing with it a little bit better then when I first discovered it. And yes I go through similar things as you every time someone close to me dies I think I'm going to die soon or someone close to me will die anxiety makes people think they are impending doom and thats what drives me crazy along with all the scary unexplainable sensations AND symptoms that I get on a daily basis
I cant sleep tonight i keep getting this wierd pain on the sides of my head and my mouth and jaw feel weird too does anyone gets this way too i feel like im having a stroke
Yeah I get ALL those symptoms too! I've been to
The hospital so many times because of the pressure and pains in my heads and eyes and temples. I also get tingly/numbing feeling on and off in my face/jaw.... let night it was in my chin lol weird. But there is a website called anxiety centre
And it has a list of all the anxiety symptoms and explains them and why we get them. It helped me so much! When I saw all my symptoms listed I started to be able to except that it's anxiety. And like I said with the head pains and pressure watch your shoulders makes sure they are always down. It has changed my life. I almost never get head pressure anymore because it is caused by the tension in your neck and shoulders. Also get some lavender epsom salt. It's for relaxations for the muscles and it's great for anxiety. I take a hot bath and soak in it and listen to calming music on my phone and that's helps a lot too!
Hi Emily thank you so much for your message its constantly happing to me i was going to the hospital all the time too thinking im having a stroke or heart attack they do all the test and nothing seen but normal dr say just anxiety i got tired of going to the hospital i hate when they put the needle in my arm for the fluids and medicine it freaking hurts me they never do it right or cant find a good vein..so i dont know what to do so i thought if i wrote on here someone would know what im going through and im not crazy. so thank u for telling me about the site to look up all the symptoms . and your right about the shoulders i will try to keep doing that cause i work on the computer every day its probley straining the heck out of my neck and shoulders and i also swell alot in my legs and ankles i was always thinkking im getting a blood clot in my legs its just driving me crazy with all this fear of me dying.every little pain oh somthings wrong with me its just damn health anxiety. and will look for some of that lavender salt thank you so much again god bless you.
