hi all.... im having a terrible time right now, tmi... but I was constipated and pooping and I pushed really hard and instantly got a sharp pain in my head (front of forehead). It freaked me out, and the pain has gone away but I know pushing too hard can cause a brain Aneurysm!! one of my fears.... has anybody had bad headache due to straining??? and should I still be worried? it was 2 hours ago. you would think I'd be worse by now????? please help me?!!! I am trying to NOT run to the er.
If you had caused a brain aneurysm, you wouldnt be able to type, walk or speak since you would have had a stroke. Whats happened is youve ignored your breathing whilst pushing, not getting enough oxygen, causing the stabbing sensation. There are lots of other scary symptoms anxiety can cause that act around your brain, such as fog, derealization, and ive had on several occasions a feeling as though someones momentarily tried to inject water into it. So please try not to worry, because i had that years ago, and since my anxiety has calmed down, i havent had any symptoms.
thank thank you Alice so much for your reply back it has definitely made me feel a lot easier. yes anxiety is definitely hard and can make you feel anything you want. it’s funny because I even looked up and you’re isms and I wasn’t even feeling I pain until after I had read it and then instantly I could feel pain that I wasn’t coming before.
