I feel like I am going in circles... my anxiety started with headaches, so I panicked then it turned into many other sypmtoms...
I now feel like I am going in circles. The headaches have started again and I am panicking about them because they have lasted three weeks off and on. I keep telling myself its a tension headache (I went to the Dr they said it was that) I have had a CT scan in April and they wont do another. They said basically he could tell I was stressed becasue I had alot of knots around my shoulders. I do notice my back hurts alot when I sit as does my neck.
When I crack my neck it relieves the headache a bit.
Im just worried its something esle. But im tired of playing cat and mouse, just chasing a new symptom ...and suddenly Im back to square one.
Another Issue I have had recently is when I jog I see these white specks floating everywhere(tiny) I went to my opthomologist who said my eyes looked fine. But I have eye floaters all day, is this a part of anxiety??
Yes floaters can definitely be a part of anxiety I have had them for over 30 years! They are harmless but annoying. Sounds like you have very intense anxiety. Doctors don't want to do another CAT scan also because of the radiation. One is fine so don't worry about that.
i've also had headaches on and off for many years from anxiety. I went to physical therapy because of the knots in my neck from stress because when we're anxious we tend to scrunch up our shoulders and get knots.
everything you've mentioned here sounds anxiety related. Trust the doctors. It sounds exactly like what I had and occasionally still get .
No need to go in circles. You have anxiety and your brain is over anxious that's why you get the symptoms. That's why your panic turned into symptoms. You need to find anyway to relax your mind otherwise the symptoms will continue. I think I already told you about YouTube meditations for anxiety and panic. They help a lot. Get some counseling because this is hard to overcome alone. They know how to help you .
what you're doing is overthinking everything and it's driving you crazy. You are fine and I hope you feel better.
Thank you so much Jan. Your comments always ease my mind a bit.
I just don't know how or why this started. From one day to the next my life has changed and I just wish I could go back.
I have always been a worry wart but now more than ever. Ughhhh.
These are all anxiety symptoms. Ive suffered headaches since I was a smaller im 17 now but still go thru them, mostly feels to me like I get tension headaches. Advil helps me. I see floaters as well too and I wear glasses but you are fine ! Its all in your head. I myself am trying to overcome health anxiety
Iam suffering from the same thing, i went to docs today as i suffer from anxiety but the headaches were bad and my shoulders and chest were aching he told me its with tensing myself up! Its that bad i hav a hot water bottle on each shoulder
It's so dificult ... I feel like if it hadnt happened to me I would have thought the person saying all this was crazy... smh
Yes I feel alot of pain in my back and neck area. Its always cracking. I think Im going to try getting a massage once a week for now. To loosen the muscles.
