Sensations in Forehead

I have had a strange sensation in my forehead for about 6 months now. It disrupts my daily activities. It also makes it hard to focus, read, write, spell, and so on. I can't drive because of the vision changes that occur with this sensation. Been to many doctors who say I am fine, and blame this all on anxiety. It could be anxiety, I am not ruling anything out, I just would like to know how to make the symptoms subside. The sensations make it so difficult to do anything, that I spend most of my day in bed now... I want my life back! Please comment if you have had anything similar.

I 2 am on anxiety medication. Have weird sensations in my head only. Feel pressure at the top of my head and forehead, also feel like "leaking" fluid in my head. Been to doctors several times, diagnosed anxiety. My doctor is fab, also started to see a counsellor. Been like this 4 4 mnths seems when dont think about it it goes away and when i do its really bad. It is really hard to deal with and try and control.

Omg this is the same exact feeling I get with the leaking fluid feeling. Scared me to death! I take Paxil 10mg daily and i wonder if this is a side effect?

I am on Lorazapam, but only .25mg once a day. It's hard for me to accept taking a medication for dizziness that has a side effect of dizziness. I will take your advice on seeing a neurologist, although I saw one and had an MRI about 8 months ago. I saw one right before these symptoms started, so seeing one again might make sense.
Thank you for your comment and advice, I appreciate it.

Hi there. You need to take the help of a neurologist to help you with your  anxiety related forehead sensations. he would prescribe you one of the anti anxiety medications. relief would come though not  immediately but over the weeks. You must also be wary of certain associated side effects of anti anxiety drugs like drowsiness, confusion, disorientation, dizziness, impaired thinking, slow reflex actions, stomach upset, nausea, weakness and delirium. Keep me posted and take care.
