Anxiety or a Neurology issue?? Please help

[lwillia1]

I'll try to make this short and sweet. I have been having headaches and neck paid for about 2 months. Sometimes it gets really painful. It does not respond to any OTC pain relievers. I have also been feeling like my eyes are feeling funny, like they're too big for my head and won't focus properly. In the last week or so I have had a feeling like my left arm and hand are tingly and weaker than my right. I have had a CT scan that showed nothing and a whole gammut of heart tests (EKG, stress test, holter monitor) and all have come back normal. The neurologist has scheduled me for an MRI, but thinks it's just migraines. The pain is not unbearable like I would have thought a migraine would be and prior to this I had maybe 5 headaches in my lifetime that I can recall (I'm 23, female). I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and am on 12.5 mg of Paxil CR. My question is, should I be worried this is something more serious? Could it be anxiety related? I assume if the neuroligist had thought this to be an emergent situation, he would have sent me to the ER...?

hi ther it also sounds anxiety related to me as i get the strange feelings in my arms which seeems to go away when i occupy myself but if a obsess about it ( which i am at the moment) it appears to get worse i also get a stiffness in by neck and shoulders which i think is the cause and is brought on by stress and anxiety , all very annoying

Sounds like a migraine, especially the eyes.  At the first sign of a migraine, the eyes go kind of fuzzy, and the headache comes later.  Or could be another kind of vascular headache.  You might try a remedy called Migraine Relief by Ridgecrest Herbals, or Migraide by Boerwiche and Taffel, I think, or both.  Solved my problem mostly with TM, as recommended by a doctor.
