      Hi Louise,

      I get pains in my head too, not headaches more like pressure/muscle pains.

      It hurts to touch my scalp all over and even when I wash my hair it hurts, is this anxiety or something more serious????

    Problem is anxiety causes stress.. stress causes tension... tension causes muscle aches... it's a vicious cycle unfortunately... I understand the pain.. it's no fun at all.. but ya anxiety can call all kinds of problems..

    Do you have medication to manage this anxiety? Yes it can cause an array of symptoms, pains, aches. Sadly even normal,pains turn into a big deal. Its a brutual disorder. 43 times is an extreme amount. You do need to accept you have an anxiety disorder. by now you are well examined.

      I understand I have an anxiety disorder but no matter how much I tell myself that theses pains are just anxiety I just can't not get it out of my head it's something worse like heart related.

      I have tried medication but nothing seems to help x

      Dont go again. 43 times is enough to get this is adrenaline rush not a heart condition.In the usa you would be impovershed after the fifth visit.  Why hasnt a doctor given you xanax to help you while you are adjusting to medications? The meds should stop flaring it uo by week five then hopefully work well. Cant you phone your gp?
