Anxiety and head problems

[anxietyellie]

Does anyone else have head issues and have been told that it is anxiety?  I am about tired of this constant head pressure/pain that I keep getting.  Its very weird.  I will wake up in the morning and feel ok, then about 1/2 hour later this pressure/pain will start on the left side of my head near the top.  It will seem to intensify and then lessen itself throughout the day with no real rhyme or reason to when it is worse or better.  If I ignore it and go about my business it seems to get slightly better but if I acknowledge it.. it seems to get worse.  Is this all from anxiety?  I am so worried that it is something so serious.  I have seen 4 different doctors and had blood work and urinalysis done and always given anxiety as diagnosis.  I am currently taking lexapro for about 3 weeks now.. seems to help a little but annoying head pressure/pain will not seem to go away.  Does anyone have any advice?

Recently I had a panic attack and it developed a anxiety on me. I been having a constant pain on the lower back of my head. I asked my mom and she suffered from the same syntoms years back. She told me she had the back pain for months and she she had to deal with it with no medicine. Since she had no insurance. It is a constant pain with tension pressure that doesnt go away. My only hope is that it will go away but for now its still here. It makes ur life miserable cause I just want to feel normal like before. I had some lexapro pills that a friend gave me a while a me and it help but my doc gave me xanax but the withdrawn is so hard. And the symtoms may come back like 10 times worse if u stop taking xanax. I think im going to try lexapro since it less dependable. Hope you guys get better.I already try all the natural remedies kava kava st john wort chamomile pomagranete and many more stuff it seems to work but not completly. Anyway guys keep a positive attitude that this will not stay forever. It will go away.

I feel your pain. I had an allergic reaction to medicine for cold and flu. After that I had severe anxiety. I went to the doctors twice and the emergency room twice all said it was anxiety. Finally they said if you come here again we are going to tell you to take the medicine. I went through a real bad time. I would not even take a vitamin! Finally things got so bad I took a half of a clonazepam. Each day it gets better. Yesterday I had no panic attacks and then boom - I had a tightness in my jaw, my eyes felt heavy and I felt like I was floating. I get these weird tingling sensations in my head. I was so scarred to take the medicine alone but my husband keeps reminding me how much better I feel when I take the medicine. I was prescribed nortriptyline but never took it for my ibs. The ibs has calmed down. I noticed that I was thinking of death when this happened. One day at a time , right. I do have a sensory processing disorder called spd. If I do not do things that calm me and help my spd it will trigger a panic attack. I have to move. And everyone is right - don't concentrate on it. Take the med when someone is there. This will help you relax. After you take it - you can call someone to. I take half a pil one time a day in the afternoon. I have to have the fan on me for my spd so in the morning I feel better like I am not suffocating. Put wet cloths on you and stay away from hot showers. They tend to increase anxiety though it is supposed to help with muscles and relaxing. Read the bible that's what I do and listen to music

You have to get to a doctor and figure out a medication that works best for you. Becareful what they put you on.  Do your research.  Personally I stay away from Benzos.

Sorry for replying so late.  I don't come to this site as much anymore.  I take 15mg of cipralex.  I went from someone that had extreme social anxiety to having confidence.  I don't feel buzzed or any different but the best way to describe it is the things that I feared in the past no longer bother me.  I really hope it continues.  I know longer drink alcohol and have cut back on pop as well.  I strongly recommend cutting out coffee, pop, etc.  The first month on cipralex was difficult as I was shaky and had heart palpitations. After three or four weeks I felt normal for the first time in a long time.
