Anxiety and pressure in head

Does anyone wake up with  migraine or pressure in their head, feeling unrested every night, or feeling like you didnt get enough oxygen? Know it sounds crazy, but I also wake up with heart racing. I have heard its a sign of sleep apnea but i took a test n they said i only stopped breathing twice which is no sign for alarm.

I would consult your doctor and tell her you would like an MRI on your head with and without contrast to see your blood flow....Also if you don't drink water try drinking water and more fruits and veggies this can help with headaches as well....I have notice that when I don;t drink enough water I get ick and tired and I get really bad headaches....you can test to see if your dehydrated by pinching the top of your finger where its wrinkly for 5 seconds and count how many seconds it takes to go back to normal...if its more than 5 second you are more than likely dehydrated. :) good luck hun and contact your doctor :)

I have woken up feeling prssure in my head and My heart well  I went to bed a couple times to what felt like a pounding heart and I would wake up a couple times a night feeling the same way...I have severe panic disorder :/ so I get easily panicked and starteled. Do you wake up with your headache every morning and feel this way if so I would consult your doctor. Good luck sweety!!
