constant headache with anxiety?!?!

I've been having almost daily headaches for almost a year. I have been to the ER numerous of time I've had 6 ct scans and 1 MRI and they found nothing but I still have headaches I've tried every medicine. And when I have a bad one I think of an aneurysm or tumor or something horrible and I'm terrified. I have points throughout the day that my heart is just going to stop I'm scared. Is all of this anxiety????

Headaches are complicated and can have many causes. However, I had six or seven per week for over 10 years years and once I started taking anxiety / depression medication the headaches went away. Sounds like a visit to a well respected psychiatrist would be a very wise next stop. General practitioners are not the best choose for anxiety / depression disorders. By the way, people with anxiety / depression are constantly in the self diagnosing modes. Don't be afraid to take meds if they will alleviate daily suffering.

Could be JUST anxiety....bit maybe thats enough....anxiety/depression is a very complex condition and it can cause other symptoms to arise....try to quiet the body with some medication and I am a Christian who believes its always important to pray as well.  Also make sure you have trusted loved ones who have your back.   You will need help but you WILL overcome!
