So since the end of July I have been having head issues. The pressure is only my left side and two weeks ago I went to the doctor and he told me he thinks I'm having tension headaches. He prescribed muscle relaxers and physical therapy appointments. I went to 1 PT appt and found out it's a $35 cover fee every time and I can't afford to go or the other sessions. They gave me a sheet of neck exercises to do daily. I was so worried about a brain tumor but my doctor says I don't have any of the signs and it seems like it's gotten a lot better since I've gotten that reassurance from him. It's been two weeks since the appt and the headaches are still there. I've had a couple days where I had no issues and it was such false hope that I was getting better I'm trying not to worry bc my husband just thinks I need to let it be bc they are chronic headaches. But im trying not to be scared and worry but my dr said if it doesn't stop to go back n see him. But I already owe a ton in dr bills and idk where to go next? Any advice? Should I pin it down to what my dr said and leave it be even if they don't stop? I'm scared to leave it be if it's serious but I think my symptoms would've gotten worse by now if it was serious. The only symptom I have is head tightness/pressure.
Do you experience head movement (pendulum) like side by side? Do you also experience pressure after you ate? How about pressure at back of your eyes. Is it periodical?
On my part, i had these symtomps including yours. Got anxiett for 8 months now
No my
Only symptom is one part of my head feels right or like there's throbbing/squeezing
Hey Lori I don't know if you've seen my many post , but I have head sensations all the time mostly everyday with a few good days somewhere during the month , but I get those same symptoms you are experiencing and more so no need to worry I've been to the neurologist and had MRIs and everything came back normal so I just fight through everyday even though it hurts and is scary
I wish at times I could have the MRI bc I get scared. I'm afraid it's bad and I'm not catching early on. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement
No problem Lori !! If you need me I'm here
Thanks a bunch I appreciate it
Anyone else have any advice? I feel like things are getting worse now this sucks
I feel at such a loss it's been going on 10 weeks with these headaches. I wanna feel normal again. I knew I should just get a CT scan done and rule anything serious
Hey Lori I know you'd rather hear from someone else but I just wanted to say this , I was thinking like you saying if I just could have a MRI or ct scan I'd be able to relax but even after I had the MRI I was still convinced something was wrong in my head and that they missed something , because its all mental , and another thing I wanted to ask you did you Dr do any neurological test on you
He just checked my reflexes, blood pressure, my eyes n ears and my heart. He told me I had no alarming signs of a possible tumor. I know the more worrying I do the worse it could get with my head but it's hard I just wanna know I'm okay
Yeah I wanted to know because that's also what my primary doctor did alsonamd said the same thing sonwhem.they do that they can tell that's why he didntbsend you for a MRI , I believe your just fine its just anxiety believe me these headaches I get are beyond horrible and scary very very painful at times along with the other sensations of numbness and tingling and throbbing and pulsating so I know its scaring the daylights out of you because it still scars me and I had the MRI
So you think getting the MRI is not even worth it? I just want ny life back. I wanna feel "normal" again. It's been since mid july since this all started for me.
To be honest its really not needs those little test your Dr did on you are to check for tumors , and you were fine , and actually even if you had the MRI , you'd still think the doctors missed something and you'll still think the same things your thinking now , so its a waste ! We are all in the nightmare together unfortunately but its all.anxiety
I hope. I just wonder why I have random days where it doesn't hurt at all
Maybe because your not that much focused on it that day or.your body isn't that stressed that particular day , I don't know lol
I know. I feel like I relaxed a lot after the dr told me they were tension headaches it was rly awesome for like a week and now I'm back to worrying. How long has this been going on for you
Yeah I've been having the headaches and head sensations off and on since February, had the MRI in march
Is yours on one aids off our head? Does anything help relieve it?
Side not AIDS lol
