Hi venessa l am so sorry you went through such a trauma.You do sound as though you are suffering from anxiety.The symptoms you describe are down to anxiety.lt is very difficult to accept that your body can react like this when you are anxious.I hope your doctor has referred you to a counselor that can help you cope with what you are going through.
I agree with Marleen, definitely anxiety symptoms, the burning sensation for example in your scalp is the small blood vessels contracting to send oxygenated blood to the muscles ready for fight or flight. This can also cause dizziness.
Youve been through a terrible trauma which has probably triggered the anxiety symptoms.
Take your GP's advise whatever that may be but Councelling is an option as is medication.
I have suffered chronic anxiety fir six years so do feel I have enough experience to comment.
You have suffered a terrible loss and correct me if I'm wrong, you are having to manage that loss in your thoughts and mind on a daily basis.
Anxiety is like a glass filling up with water bit by bit, when the glass is full the anxiety manifests itself in many physical ways, nearly all of which I have experienced over the last six years.
Hands shaking, dizzy spells, head pain and weired bodily feelings can all be symptoms of anxiety along with palpitations, panic, and worry to name but a few.
You have been through a devastating experience, I would suggest bereavent councelling will help to to understand why the anxiety can be a totally normal part of grief, even more so if you bottle your real feelings and emotions up to put on a brave face infront of others.
Your Doctor will be able to prescribe you some meds to help you through this tough patch.
It really sounds like anxiety ,you've went through a traumatic time, so sorry about your loss...I have had anxiety on and off my whole life but recently since December it got out of control..
