Hi im also suffering with health anxiety, iv somehow convinced myself that I got epilepsy, and even when people tell me im fine it still wont get out of my head. I dont know where this has come from but it affects me daily as iv got a fear of lights now. Anyhow before I had this I also thought I had a brain tumour and I was getting headaches everyday but the dr said the headaches are through stress and anxiety and once I kept saying that to myself everytime my head hurt it slowly went out of my mind. I take 500mg of rhodeola rosea which is a herbal remedy for anxiety, is has helped me alot and I also use bach rescue remedy which is herbal aswel as I dont like taking over the counter or prescribed tablets. Hope you feel better soon.
Also all the symtoms your getting with the weird feeling in your head and twitching is exacly what I had so try not to worry
hi jake.you are in your panic days and always worry about diffrnt kinds of diseases Absolutely your are fine bodily but becoz we r panic our body starts to reaction.try meditation,or try sth new that is your favrt it will make distract your mind.
Hey jake. I know 100% how you feel because I worry about the same thing and been going through the same thing.but the more I look online at things like this, the less scared I am and realize it could simply be anxiety. I get head pressure, headaches, sharp pains like an ice pick feeling that comes and goes, scalp pain, and also now getting pains all over my body. But it's only when I have my attacks... But the head pain may or may not be perist. I know its hard to do, but you need to try to take your mind off it, I know it's easier said than done. Do you have persist symptoms? depending on my day I do, but if I'm busy with something else I dont. Like today, I'm writing this so I'm thinking about it so of corse I feel something, but earlier, I was onlinw looking at nails and make up, doing the girl thing, and I felt fine. You should go seek help, medication does work wonders and can help. I'm about to start my new medication tonivht actually and hopefully within a week I see a difference
take care and feel better soon!
Did you Also have the Partial seizure symptoms which made you think you had epilepsy? Dozing off to sleep and having de ja vu ? Thanks man appreciate your advice made me feel better I just freak out but only when I think about it like tonight I couldint sleep when I would doze off it felt like I was dreaming but I was awake ?
Will do thanks a lot need to get over this Anxiety plays a bigger part in your life then you expect
Thanks Victoria made me feel better now yeah it's inly when I think about it but it's hard for it to leave my head you know ? It's constantly there because im constantly thinking about it but I've had days were it went away when I was busy doing something
I worry too. It's always on my mind that I could have a tumor, but these seem to be "normal" things to feel. I have no doubt though in the back of my mind when I am calm, none of this started happening for me until I became stressed out. I went through a lot and still isn't over yet. I bet once it is And I starr my medication it'll be gone.
Yes thats all part of the anxiety it totally messes with your head. Because your focusing on it so much u pick up on every little pain, twitch etc i had health anxiety about 10years ago when I was 17 I thought I had every illness going but I managed to get over that.. Next time u feel panicky just try to distract yourself by thinking of happy things, sing a song in ur head or watch a film. Also dont look things up online like I used to as it makes you feel 10 times worse in the end. u will get passed this u just got to keep calm when the oanic starts and keep telling yourself your fine and its all anxiety.
Bless your heart Jake! I've been suffering from this for the last couple of years. The worst thing I did is get on WebMD and similar sites. I still suffer badly from anxiety but I have less of the health issue. My therapist tells me that these pains or twitches have never been anything before so why now? I've thught I've had stroke, heart attack, epilepsy, lupus, brain tumor.. The list goes on. I've recently started trying to meditate. I will warn you with meditation that it doesn't always work as taking your mind completely away can be difficult if it's always wandering. Just know you're not alone.
I have the exact same problem. Ended up taking myself to A&E last night which did absolutely no good because they made me wait hours & then sent me on my way.
But whatever, I won't give up trying to get help. I will keep going until they get sick of me.
Try to breathe, I know it's hard. I have pain all the time. Twinges everywhere from my feet to my head. I hate it. But I'm still here. So that's a pretty good sign.
Get on at your GP to check you over. I'm desperate for a CT and MRI scan cos I am convinced I have a brain tumour too.
I hope it gets easier for you x
I've been feeling like how you are for 2 month..every single day...it sucks! I honestly think i've got cancer in my lungs or brain...oh and to make matters worse...i found a little pea size lump in my upper thigh...i was absolutley terrified! got told at the docs it "sounds" and feels like one of those skin tags (not a serious health problem)..i'm not as convinced but time will tell. But yeh, don't stress,it'll make you worse.Oh the sleep thing you feel, i got that back in february, tho for me, when i was about to fall asleep, my eyes felt like they were gona roll to the back of my head, AND my head was spinning, i was seeing double walls in my room and thought i was going to have a seizure...scary times.But i can tell you that you are fine and nothing bad is going to happen to you, i know..i've been through it..and so has alot of other people, your not alone! talk it out to someone,read other peoples stories...i do and it makes me feel sane again and that i'm not going crazy 
Just breath deeply and calmly..you'll get through it.
Hello Victoria....
I suffer from anxiety. I been like this about 2months. It makes me worry about this. One time I felt like this about 15 years ago. It didn't take that long to go away. Now I just got it back again. I have alot of pressure in my head, shooting pain in my stomache. It scares me when I feel these symptoms. Alot of times I had to go to the ER b/c of this. I get scare about my anxiety coming back. Its hard not to think about it. Its a scary feeling. When I feel like this I just PRAY🙇 to GOD about this. Then my anxiety calms down. I feel good when I don't feel the anxiety. I have to keep myself busy some how. I start feeling like this as soon as I wake up in the morning. I hate that feeling. Victoria.... What is the medicine you take called?
Hey Peggy! I'm the same way, my anxiety strts the moment I wake up, but its been getting better. I'm about to start pristiq, I'm honestly scared to try it because I've tried clexa? I think that's some what close to how it's spelt and for a week, I had horrible side effects. Lexapro is good, I loved it but I couldn't afford it and this new stuff my doctor gave me for free to help me out.
Victoria....
What's the medicine called? Lexapro? Do you any good herbal anxiety medicine?
I'm taken lexapro. And not herbal,
Does Lexapro works? Does it give you any side effect? Do you take it all the time? Do you know any herbal medicine for anxiety?
It's anxiety...I have all the same symptoms...however my uncle had a brain tumor and had NO symptoms and you usually dont with tumors so its most likely anxiety
Lexapro does work. There Are side effects but I never had them so I'm not sure what they Are. And no I dont know
