New to Me.

[TheMrs0219]

Uhm, I'm 20 years old and to the extent of my knowledge I've never had any problems with anxiety but today, I woke up generally fine. Went through my morning routine then around noon something changed and my head has been feeling like I'm on an airplane--like my ears need to pop, there's a lot of pressure but it's not painful just off-putting. I can hear my pulse rapidly beating it lasts for about 5-10 seconds then it stops and I get this hot-flash like feeling down my back, legs, and arms into my hands which lasts for about 3 seconds then it all goes away for about 5 minutes then the process starts all over again. My nose isn't stuffy, my head doesn't hurt, I'm pretty sure I don't have a fever. My husband doesn't seem concerned but my step mother thinks that it could be anxiety. Please help me out. Tell me if these are the symptoms or if it's something else entirely.

Much appreciation for any/all help, thanks.

That sounds like it may be more than anxiety. I would go to the dr.

These are not typical anxiety symptoms, but anything is possible. There are some strange viruses out there and this could be one.  Need to at least get your blood pressure checked.  A doctor visit is a good idea.

It could be anxiety.  However I would make an appointment with your dr for a physical and full bloodwork up just to make sure you don't have something else going on.

I would suggest you talk to a therapist if it is anxiety.  This way you can get to the bottom of what is causing your anxiety and figure out a treatment plan for you.  It is better to deal with it now then to ignore and have it come back worse later on.  

You can also try keeping a journal that might help you too...

Good Luck...Feel better soon....
