Does anyone get weird head sensations with their Anxiety?

I've posted a few questions lately, but i'm just having a bad few weeks of Anxiety =/
I'm nearly 19 and to put it short i have Social Anxiety and a fear of dying.
I get aload of symptoms with my Anxiety, different ones all the time.
But theres some in particular that worry me, i get these weird popping type sensations in my head mainly near my ears and on the back of my head, they only last a few seconds.
I also get alot of scalp pain, heavy headedness, headaches and crackeling sensations, it feels like i'm bleeding in my brain sometimes.
I do only notice it all when i'm dealing with my Anxiety, especially if i'm sitting down and i think " ooo that was weird, in my head "
Does anyone else get any of these?
I've have asked my doctor and she said people get all kinds of sensations/pains in their head from Anxiety, it's extremely common, your head is just as sensative as say your stomach/bowels are.
So she said jst try and relax and see if the weirdness goes away.
So i dunno really.
And i'm petrified of dying from a brain aneurysm =|

OmG...I can't believe that I have finally found others going through this!

I recently stopped taking Alprrazalam for anxiety and went through bad withdral.
Since then I have been having weird sensations all over my body.

The  latest is a burning sensation from my neck down my back and shaking..

I hate it, I just want to feel normal again :(

Anxiety is generally caused by something dehydration thyroid problems neurological and many other things weird head feelings aren't normal go to a doc and have a full panel of blood tests done and keep a close eye on anything that seems strange Anxiety can make you feel awful but it should pass if your head feels strange all the time that's when you should be concerned

Answer these questions: do you know what the chemical composition of your pharmaceuticals is, and do you know what these chemical compositions mean to your body? I can tell you that modern pharmaceuticals often cause more problems than solutions for your body! These pharmaceuticals can make you more sick and have more pain than your body should have. If you were my patient, although I am not a doctor, I would give you a hug and say "I can help you get healthy: here's some Cellect, some PHresh, some Maharishi Ayurveda blessed minerals and roots, some MSM (an organosulfur compound, please google it), some MMS (a catalyst that aids in your body's ability to absorb minerals in ordinary food, please google this also if you would), a book by Henry David Thoreau, another book called 'How to Meditate,' one more book maybe on how to garden, and a random four Alan Watts videos on YouTube for you to view. I would ask that you also pray to God honestly/sincerely, with your heart, for your safety of health and well-being and God will answer you in your soul and outwardly also if you wish. Also, if you develop some sort of network with neighbors or a government service or a humanitarian group that can visit you, then that might really help you many ways as well. I don't know where you live, but if I will do research and give you phone numbers if you respond on this forum.

I am over 55 and live alone.  I get these feelings in my head that feel like my brain is trying to go to sleep in different areas at different times.  It feels scary and I didn't sleep any last night.  I am wondering if anyone gets this way?  I think about it may be a tumor or a brain aneresum something like that.  I suffer alot of worry and stress living alone on a small income and only have one son, daughter-in-law, and grandson who live in another state and hardly ever keep in touch.  My son works a  high demanding job area manager and is gone alot to different states and my daughter-in-law doesn' t ever call me. My grandson doesn't answer his phone ever is 14 almost 15 years of age.  I wish I could buy him things but just on a small income.  I also would like him to come stay  with mawmaw but my sleep schedule is really off.  I have tried mental health and nothing seems to help me sleep.  I am a walking pharmacy here people.  I have been asked to hold a group about medications and how they work.  Aging process is not too much fun.  Needing a foot surgery three hammertoes and a bunion.  I have no-one to help me when I get this surgery. Any suggestions?  Also, I am thinking about getting back on klonopin which helps my anxiety take it 3 times per day. It is so addictive though and was so hard to get off of.  I have been off of it since November 2012.  I guess what helps don't hurt.  I suffer fibromayalgia and degenerative disc disease.  Thanks for being out there. Any comments or welcomed.
