I had sudden head pressure about a month ago. Been to dr twice and both say sinusitis. Gave me medication but it is not working. I of course think something else is wrong and i feel like my anxiety is mixing with symptoms. Numbness is face and hands. Head pressure every day. Cry because i dont like feeling this way. Scared to go to work or drive. Waking up early every morning and feel tingling in feet. When i try to go back to sleep my mind keeps racing. Stomach has been upset. List goes on. Just feel blah. Doctor gave me paxil to take. I took it before..just want to get back to normal. Do other people feel this way.

    I know it's hard to be patient when you feel uneasy and sick. It took 5 weeks for me to feel better with the paxil , all that you describe I've had with anxiety.

    good luck and good health...Godspeed

Im single with no kids so its hard to keep myself occupied to get my mind right. Cant wait for this medication to start working. Thanks everybody for understsnding. This depression/anxiety is crazy how it can overcome you in so many ways.
