Heavy head feeling and eye focusing problem

[Nikkie Ann]

Hie, for the past 2 weeks i have had this heavy headed feeling, sometimes at the back of my head, sometimes it feels like the whole head. The feeling will be there constantly. Throughout the day, sometimes i feel throbbing pain at both sides of my temple. Apart from that, my eyes focus seems to be getting weird - don't really know how to explain the feeling, but it feels like my focus expands and then shrinks. My eyes also feels tired easily since this whole episode started. Before this happens, i've had a few other worries regarding my health, and hav been getting up several hours before i am suppose to be up. I have done a renal blood test (the doctor thought i might be anaemic) and a CT scan, both of which came back negative. I've been asked to go to an eye doctor instead. Should i be worried about brain tumour?

Exactly the same here i havent been diognosed with anxitey but i do think i have it i keep thinking im seriously ill my head feels so heavy and weird also my eyes feel heavy too, i sometimes have chest pain etc and feel faint. I also feel really drained etc. also panic attcks an i keep thinking omg im ill im gonna die etc but its just really weird. But its only anxiety the best way to forget it is do something to take your mind off it, its scary and that but you need to try and be positive thats what iv been told to do and actually while im typing this my head feels as though its gonna drop off but i know its just anxiety. Horrible thing to have isnt it.

Hi there I have all the same things you have had. I have been experiencing this for a few years and doesn't seem to go away. I really need to talk to someone that has these same issues. It scares me a lot and interferes with my life. I am even scared sometimes to go to work because of this. Please contact me to talk if you can. I feel dizzy, sometimes even faint I really get the off balance symptoms the most. I am scared to go to stores due to embarrassment if i fall which I never have yet but just the idea.

I understand, I do know what you're going through. If you want to talk, message me, it's no big deal. We all need someone sometimes. Man or not.

Hello,  i think you're experiencing anxiety. I have the same feeling of anxiousness and an fear of going outside because of that heavy feeling  like there's a brick on top of your head. I have been experiencing that for 4 years already and I'm 21 now.

My main worry is I've never had feeling depressed or worried have any effect on me physically before and I don't have any problems with my chest or heart beat. It's just this constant daily 24/7 pressure heavy feeling in my head that I think about non stop and keep googling what it can be.

Sleep is so hard to get and when I do I keep waking up constantly and having dreams related to my head as its all I think about.

I exercise 5 days a week and have a happy life with a fiancé and new house with zero worries now....well just this feeling in my head. I'd understand it if it happened 6 months ago but not now when life was great?

Don't want medication as I hate taking pills, I just don't think they can solve problems deep down.

I'm only 26, stuff feeling like this for the rest of my days, my loved ones deserve better than listen to me moan constantly about something that they can never understand since to look at I look normal and healthy.

Mine first started off with a rapid heartbeat, it kept me from sleeping. Then I became exhausted and from that anxiety set in, then depression from no sleep and loss appetite. I saw 7 dr's (maybe more), when to the emergency room 5 times. I've had EKG's and an echo and my heart is healthy, very heathy. Then after that I was actually fine for a few week, but then It was the weight on my head all off the time. I dreaded laying down cause made my heart would beat faster. Nausea, lightheaded, stumbling, being forgetful, Blurred vision fatigue, I feel very weak, it all started little by little. Also, when I lay on my side and I have hard time breathing. It's been hell for 1 year 6 months. I was subscribed lexepro for the anxiety and Wellbutrin for depresion, I don't have anxiety and depression anymore. I do still have that weight on head or towards the back (like a cloudy head), l stumble and can barely do th things at times and when I do things my whole body heats up. I told my Dr.  many times all about these symptoms and his solution was "it's anxiety" and subscribe me more klonazapam Lexepro (which I don't use because they do nothing), the clonapam actually work, but it's a controlled substance and when you come off of it, you'll have two weeks of hell. Same with the Lexepro. I personally hate meds. It would be nice if Dr.'s actually cared and could understand what a person is going through. Alsoen, I have tried many natural herbs, roots, and so forth. I'd also like to mention that one Dr. put me on meds for my rapic heartbeat that had some 40 unknown chemicals (they're actually approved by the FDA.), I didn't take it for long, it made me feel horrible and caused have panic attacks and severe depression. The main this is getting some sleep, if a person can't sleep you will fall apart like me. To anyone that has good heath be thankful to Jesus Christ. I guess not drinking, smoking, and excising isn't enough some times. Maybe some times it's people around you that cause problems. I'm 39 and I don't think I'll around much longer. This have all become too much. The only reason I am still here is that my Lord God Says you're not supposed to kill, so I won't kill myself. Much love to everyone and I hope all you can somehow start feeling better. That would make me feel great. One last thing, get out and do things with family and friends. Be active if possible. If you have no one to talk to, find someone, even if you have to pay for it.  You can even leave me a message me. We can chat about anything. What ever might help you and me helping you helps me as well. I apologize if some my syntax, grammar and so forth is a off. Cheers to all.

However maybe this is anxiety, I really don't know. I had a hellish 2 years 6 months ago could it be hitting me now?

This heavy head is destroying my life.

Hello
I can honestly say I agree, when a rusty starts
And you feel the worst like you are the unlucky one
You are dying. And it scares you to a whole new
Level.
I am new to anxiety, the last two weeks have made
Me so unhappy I constantly feel out of focus and
Not relaxed. It's so hard to control and hard not
To worry.
I never knew how common this was.

Hello Iv recently found out that I suffer from anxiety.
In August, out of the blue I started having a panic attack, since then I felt odd now abs again (little dizzy) but for two weeks now, I have felt dizzy neasua, heavy headed, at time felt very sick but have not been and a uncomfortable chest feeling. Through out the whole day more than less I will feel scared and anxious. I am scared for the worse case Scenario, I feel  I'am unlucky in life which freaks me out. But I don't know what to do. I just can't seem to relax and be happy and normal.
