I know this sounds stupid, but ever since my panic attacks in january I have had bad headaches and another physical symptoms, I also feel so out if it most of the time almost like I’m drunk or high which I’m not! Does anyone else get scared that they have brain cancer or something… or is it just me? it terrifies me I havent felt good in a long time
i have health anxiety and I have convinced myself I have had a number of different cancers . it takes over my life (although at the moment I’m quite positive)
I find my anxiety can make me feel very spaced out , and dizzy . very similar do being drunk. it can also cause headache. so maybe your anxiety is causing these symptoms ?
I find the more I think about symptoms the worse they get , and if I find if I I Google a condition I think I have , my brain then gives me them symptoms!! anxiety cause cause the brain to do many powerful things:(
it doesnt sound stupid at all. we all have to listen to what our bodies are telling us. its the speculation of different ailments we may or may not have that gets us worrying. we anxiety sufferers tend to think in the worse case senerio constantly. i dont think we can help it. you probably heard this before, but seeing a doctor may help you. he would eliminate or confirm your worse fear. knowing for sure is the best solution and will put you at ease. are you on any meds? do you have allergies? these also could be the cause of your headaches. are you sleeping ? are you having normal bowel movements? both another reason you could have headaches. is it a migraine headache or just pressure ? could be stress, could be anxiety, could be a lot of things other than cancer, and why you must see a doctor and hopefully have some tests done. this is the only way to be 100% certain. inner ear infections can cause dizziness and throw your balance off making you feel drunk. i would see a doctor and go from there. guessing is only going to make your anxiety worse.
Anxiety causes many symptoms including panic attacks, weakness, tiredness, headaches, dizziness, numbness and tingling, brain fog, muscle twitching, and hundreds more. you get symptoms because anxiety is very stressful on the body. The symptoms they arent harmful but I know that they can feel scary.
You don’t have brain cancer. you would be extremely ill if you did.
you need to work on managing the anxiety so you don’t get all those symptoms.
try doing some meditation for anxiety. You can find hundreds on YouTube. They help me a lot! Also if something in your life is causing anxiety, speaking with a counselor or therapist can really help. anxiety is the number one reason people visit a counselor. do you things that relax your mind and stay positive. I hope you feel better and you’re going to be OK!
