That was my 1st noticible sign of anxiety....feeling like my head was in a nuece and was gonna explode on me....I thought brain tumor, stroke...Most anxiety sufferers have experience the same feelings & thoughts....have you been diagnosed with Anxiety? This is a great site for help and knowledge.

Good luck!
