Well I have been told I have health anxiety but today I just keep getting head sensations and I feel so weird and weak and dizzy I have told the doctor she says she thinks it's all anxiety but I just can't believe that anxiety can cause all these physical symptons, especially head sensations??? I am only 16 and I am terrified I am going to have a stroke, brain hemorrhage any second I feel so scared please help me
I also have panic attacks which are servere
Hiya. Anxiety causes many physical symptoms head sensations being one of them called tension headaches from anxiety and stress. Though you may not feel stressed your working yourself up about this so you are. Heart papultations, tingling in arms and legs is all part of it. If you get really concerned you can always call 111 if your in the UK it's non emergency NHS number they can give you advice on what to do next. I'm only 18 I've had it for years if you want anything PM me X
I'm new to anxiety. I just found out that having a sensitive hot head is all anxiety. I know I have to lean to relax. There are a lot of symptons with anxiety. Try not to make yourself crazy worrying over them.
Hello , yes there are over 100 symptoms of anxiety , and I have had a lot of them I too struggle with panic disorder and anxiety , and I have a lot of head sensations and pains , but I've been tested had MRIs and cat scans, blood work and my doctor says I'm healthy and it's just anxiety , which I find hard to believe , I always think something is seriously wrong with my head too , so i know how you feel , what type of feelings do you get in your head ?
Hey John,
If you doctors ran tests on your and they say that you're fine, you should trust their opinion. Anxierty sucks, but you're not alone. If you ned any help, post on here or feel free to send me a PM.
Good luck and all the best!
Thankyou so much for replying. And it's like a tickling feeling on my scalp?
But my anxiety is so bad even if I am reasurred by the doctors I always think what if they are missing something? What if I do have a serious illness what if the stroke or brain hemorrhage is only just coming on?? I'm only 16 I was normal about a month ago and now health anxiety is taking over my life
Yes I get that feeling quite often , and my doctors says its definitely the anxiety , its a very weird feeling !!
John Ive had depression for 16 years its been tough but manageable, in December 2015 the anxiety started I went to a and e twice because I was certain I was dying, hospital gave me the all clear but still didnt believe anxiety could cause all the ailments, thats when I came onto forums and listening to everyone elses stories has helped.
Anxiety comes with 100's of symptoms just when you think you have got rid of one another appears.
If you have had a health check and everything is ok then its anxiety, your options are medication, therapy,keeping busy and exercise helps to take your mind of it.
Anxiety really sucks, but as I said this is a great forum.
Take care and stay strong
Thankyou I understand that anxiety is more common in women? I'm only a 16 year old boy I shouldn't be having these thoughts and feelings and being depressed and anxious all the time it really sucks. So is like a tickling sensation anxiety??
Thankyou jenni sometimes I feel like I just can't speak and my arms feel empty and weak is this also part of my anxiety?
Yeh mate its one of the many many symptoms.
Have you tried talking to your family about it, or someone at school.
This may sound lame but there is no quick fix to depression/anxiety
Thankyou and yes I will do
Does anyone else have a weak feeling and empty feeling in there arms with anxiety?
Yes these can all very well be signs and symptoms of anxiety , there are so many !
A stroke wont just come on like that, same with a brain hemmorage. You should really trust them.
Thanks jp, I suppose a stroke would be rare especially at my age
very, very rare.
I still think i could be the unlucky one and it will happen to me, anxiety sucks
I felt that way too, you might need a therapist.
