Does anybody else get a severe headache and their anxiety gets a million times worse? I get bad headaches at night and I feel like it’s hard to breathe and I start to panic. My chest feels heavy, and I get worried about being able to breathe.
Hi dear
On my side I get the symptoms when I get too angry.... But u need to calm down and do breathing excesise..
Definately do slow breathing exercises - I get the same thing. The headache might be because you are hyperventilating and getting so worked up about your anxiety (sometimes we hyperventaliate without even realising - typical symptom of anxiety!) Jump on youtube and look for slow breathing guided meditations - they REALLY help in these situations trust me.. been there a million times!
Recently I've been getting a lot of tension headaches from being anxious. They are pretty uncomfortable and last all day =/ I take Tylenol which helps it go away a little and that stops me from getting nervous about the headaches.
