I have been told i have anxiety, this all started about in september i am 18 years old but no i am not stressed about college because my classes are not that tough and i also don't drive anymore due to the fact that i'm scared i'll get some kind of attack while i'm driving. I have been playing soccer since i was 4 that literally it was my life and i stopped playing it, not because i didn't like it or it annoyed me but because i felt like i couldn't anymore. I was so close playing D1 and i just stopped playing around october. The feelings i would get were chest pains, palpitations, and fast heart beat or slow also sometimes until this day. I went with my cardiologist did the EKG and ultrasound both came out good and told me i had a healthy heart. I also stopped drinking coffee and sports drink for a long time already. I did blood tests with my doctor everything came out well, he says i'm good to do anything. I'm lost and need help to know what is it what i feel, what should i do or why?? i feel like i'm stuck in a bubble and need help. Also another concern of mine is my head about last week i hit my head on the top right side of my head in the gym and a lil bump came out, i would get headaches but not as much then saturday came i was about to eat at night with my family that i felt my tongue stiff, jaw pain, and a bit neck pain. I went to the restroom to search up symptoms i thought it was a stroke so i was really scared. i ate, finished went to the living room layed down on my left side and when i got up i felt really dizzy as we were leaving my uncles house and i was walking toward the car i still felt dizzy so i just got in the car quick and sat down. As we're 3 minutes in the car I felt like i was dying. I told my dad i think i needa go to the hospital now after that i started feeling like i was getting choked and no air was going to my head, the right side of my head was hurting so much, my legs were shaking, i would also shake my head and also when i got to the ER i was still shaking my head the doctor said it was an acute anxiety attack gave me a pill so i can fall asleep and i did but ever since sunday night i have been getting headaches, i get it on my forehead, sides, temple, jaw pain, neck pain and i feel like my head is tight that all i do is shake my head constantly that i don't know what to do and get really scared thinking it's a tumor? i don't know i am really scared and need some advice on what to do
-Thank You!

Anxiety can manifest in many different forms. All the symptoms you have described I have had as well. All due to anxiety (health anxiety) which ultimately turns into a full blown panic attack. The bump on your head could be coincidence or if you hit it hard enough it could be a concussion. Either way make sure and tell your PA all of your symptoms and concerns. Work on the tension and stress with whatever method works for you. Hot tub, meditation, breathing techniques. As you research anxiety you can retrain your mind to get the negative thoughts out and fight the anxiety. Hard to do but you can do it. Just like in soccer, work at your craft and use the same determination and you can work through it. I have the same issues and trying everyday to get better. Good luck and keep us posted.

Your condition is Anxiety and it needs to be treated, the more you feel unwell the worse your life will come as this condition feeds up upon itself, this needs to be nipped in the bud. Talk to your GP and explain what is going on, you need to move through this and live your life. A course of CBT may be useful as will coping skills.
I suffer headaches most days, they are caused by strong medication and need to be checked out.It is important you maintain your confidence, when you loose this you will become trapped by your own fears, it is very sad when this happens because you will be stuck in a circle of made up negativity where your life will become trapped, by your own irrational thoughts
Talk to your GP
