Anxiety and weird headaches.

Posted , 6 users are following.

So for the past two weeks I've been under a tremendous amount of stress and have been dealing with really high anxiety..

The main thing that's been bothering me are the headaches. What started out as just a tight pressure has turned into what I'm hoping is just a tension headache. But, it's the constant lightheaded/dizzy feeling that comes with it thats bothering me the most.

I get maybe 10 minutes of relief from it, but then it comes right back. I feel like my head is full of air, and it's affecting my eyes as well.. I can hardly concentrate and I'm having weird almost like spasms in my eyes. But, all in all the head pressure and dizziness are what's scaring me into thinking something is seriously wrong with my brain or something... ๐Ÿ˜ฆ Had anyone dealt with this before? It's been going on for two weeks solid now...

    there is a very good possibility that your headaches are due to your increased stress and anxiety. Headaches are extremely common. I would just advise that you have a check up with your family doctor just for your peace of mind since itโ€™s been going on for two weeks. Iโ€™ve had that happen to me and it went on for a few months but it was nothing serious. It was due to severe anxiety and stress. My vision even got fuzzy.

    do you spend a lot of time looking at a computer screen? That can actually cause headaches and vision issues.

    yes yes I have this exact thing going on right now. I've had it for the past four months everyday constantly and it can be very deliberating it's so bad I can't even drive. I'm learning to meditate and take control of my of my thoughts and try to calm myself down closing my eyes for a few second sometimes helps with the pain in my eyes. but I have constant headache with pressure all of my face and behind my eyes.

      Yes! That's exactly how I'm feeling. I'm not sure if it's cluster headaches or what.. but NOTHING is helping. And mine make me so lightheaded I can hardly do anything.

      Dehydration can cause or contribute to headaches so make sure you drink enough. Water or fruit cordial is best x

    Yes, anxiety and stress will do all kinds of things to you. When I'm concentrating hard and stressed the headaches will come but it's here and there. If your constantly stressed and worried about everything that's when other problems can occur. There's another post about this. Exercising/walking everyday could help, eating a healthier diet or like others mentioned yoga/mediating can also help.
