Hi, I am a 16 year old with realllyyyy bad anxiety. Last year, I was so scared I had brain tumor and it kind of went away and now it came. I get these bad shooting pains on the left side of my head and if I touch the right side of my head, the inside of my head hurts only in that area of my head. It's not a scalp pain and comes from inside my head. also, I get a lottt of muscle twitches all over my body. Also, I get lightheaded at times and my brain is all woozy when im getting out of bed in the morning. I'm just realllyyyyyy scareddd especially because my head hurts on the inside of i touch it, but if i touch it again it doesnt hurt, only after a long time. Also, my head feels like it has a lot of pressure /stiffness.
i understand how scary it is. i had all your symptoms plus many more. anxiety can cause many symptoms and wont hurt you!
THE TWITCHES ARE NOT HARMFUL. anxiety can cause them ive had them for years.
head pressure, pain, wooziness, lightheadedness can easily be caused by stress and anxiety,
the more u worry, the more the symptoms stay.
for peace of mind, get a checkup by your doctor. my guess is that the doc will say your symptoms are from anxiety.
CAN U ASK YOUR parents to see a counselor? IT REALLY helps.
you tube has great meditations for anxiety. i like one called Its Ok. very calming!!
YOU will be fine. get support! ![]()
Hi so sorry you are dealing with this!!! Also for your head pain, do you grind your teeth at all or have TMJ? I do from stress and often I get severe headaches and sharp pains from that.
Thank you for ur reply, hopefully I will go to the doctor soon!
and thanks for the advice!
Hi, thanks for replying! I feel like sometimes I grind my teeth, but I’m not really sure tho
can you visit your doctor to get testing done for a peace if mind?
You should totally check with your dentist. Being that anxious I can’t imagine you don’t. A mouthguard would help with head pain etc. And if you have TMJ you can see a physical therapist potentially. I have to do that.
