Weird head sensations??

Hi, I have really bad anxiety issues and wake up every morning anxious. I am 16 and have had anxiety issues for the past few months. Quite recently I have been getting tingly feet and hands but that seems to have gone away after I calm myself down. However, for the past two weeks, I have had weird sensations in the right side of my head which are painless but feel like someone has their hand rested on it. It never causes any pain, it's just annoying. Sometimes it also feels like something is crawling on my skull. It doesn't seem to be going away and has been constant these past two weeks. Is this just down to the anxiety issues or something else? Please help, any advice would be great because I get worried about things easily and am scared this is something serious.

I've only recently had anxiety problems and have never had problems before. The head pressure feeling won't go away, it only seems to ease when I'm distracted and I don't seem to feel it but when I'm sat still I can feel it. I feel alright other than that but I'm just worried because it still occurs when I'm calm. I just wish it would go away and I can't stop thinking it's something serious

Anxiety can cause all sorts of symptoms in my experience with it.  I believe we tend to become oversensitized to many feelings that are going on in our bodies and tend to magnify its problems.  I also believe we tend to misinterpret these feelings as something seriously wrong with us, when in fact it is just everyday normal aches and pains.

Do you have a history of anxiety?  What does your doctor say?
