I've had anxiety for not too long now ...I get the symptoms lik rapid heart beat and feeling flushed. I also get headaches and the headaches is what makes my anxiety worse bc everytime I get a headache I overthink it and tend to freak my self out and make my anxiety way worse. I was just wondering you guys get headaches a lot to?
Hiya,
Yes I get headache every day have done for months and months cannot get any relieve try hard not to take any meds, because of rebound headaches,so I do sympathise with you so bad have laid in bed all day sometimes just feels that if I could lift the scalp off it might go.Not much help I know except to tell you I have read your post and you are not alone and probably like you it is stress and depression they put it down to,have had MRI bloods all the tests.

Thankyou for posting! It always makes me feel better that I'm not alone. So you have had MRI done? That's what I'm so so afraid of.. I think when I have that done I should be much better. But like I said I'm really afraid to have that done... hats where most of my anxiety comes from
Please don't get stressed about that I was in a terrible state and I took a CD with me and they played that for me through headphones and I listened to that and did not open my eyes and it was over in no time.Honestly if you have to have one you can not be worse than me and it was just not worth the worry ((know easy said than done)) but please believe me. if you want to pm me feel free.
Take Care

Hi, bmc,
I share Joan's sentiments completely.
Forgive me; but what is it about having an MRI scan that worries you?
I've had e'm. Is it clostraphobia? It's only like getting into a big smarty tube for an x-ray. Honestly, there's nothing to harm you, infact during the last one I had I was so relaxed I fell asleep!
Whatever you do, we all wish you well here.

Hi Alex, I'm a lil nervous about the MRI itself but I'm mainly scared about the results.. that's where my anxiety comes from.. so if this turns out good then my anxiety should be under control
Thankyou so much.
Hi again bmc,
glad you got back lastnight. Question.....was it that the headaches etc followed a referral for MRI. or the other way round?
The symptoms you describe are typical of anxiety related issues. I don't wish to be negative; but if your scan is ok, are you prepared to accept these symptoms may continue as a result of underlying anxiety?
I truly hope everything is happily resolved for you soon.
