Can anyone tell me what this feeling in my head is please?

Thanks for replying Trisha,

I've been wondering about what I've done differently over the last few days and I forgot that I have been out in a very noisy open top sports car with my husband a couple of times. He too has been having ear problems.

I feel so dumb now. I'll give it a couple of days and if it persists I'll go to GP.

Many thanks for your reply.

It may also be anxiety Sara. All those symptoms can be a result of excess stress that you may have been experiencing lately. We can never underestimate the influence that stress has on our bodies. Things happen in life often on a daily basis. We live in a very demanding society where things get on top of us. Worry, being overtired from too many demands that we put on ourselves, and just everyday stresses of life, can sometimes take its toll without us being aware. Make sure you take some YOU time Sara. Quiet hours just to get things into perspective and relax your nerves. Women especially suffer from anxiety because we are more emotional beings and take things very much to heart. We fester over things that really turn out to be not that serious or disastrous. So take a bit of inventory Sara and see if things have not gotten a bit on top of you lately. I keep a journal often just to get things into perspective. As the saying goes sweetie, 'this too shall pass'. Take care of yourself. xx

Hi Magpie2me,

Many thanks for your wise words. Head feels clearer this evening, back is in half though after going in sports car again. I put ear plugs in this time though.

I have been under a lot of stress, you are right there. I get health anxiety wondering what all my aches and pains are

Sorry, I didn't finish, must have done something wrong.

My husband was ill for about three months until recently which meant I had more pressure on me to do everything myself and drive him around. Which I didn't mind doing. My anxiety worsened during this time though. My mother is dependent on me to take her places also. She likes me taking her away for weekends but I don't feel I can cope with it. I had a migraine the whole weekend the last time we went. So you are right about stress and the worries of everyday life.

I've convinced myself I have fibro, I don't want it to be anything else, as if fibro wasn't bad enough. It's not life threatening though.

Thanks very much for your reassuring words, I really appreciate them.

Well it is no wonder you have stress girl! You like many of us, probably suffer from GAD. Generalised Anxiety Disorder. This comes after years of putting up with too much stress. I would encourage you to get a book or do some research on GAD. It will really help you to cope with your anxiety. They give us great coping skills. Time to set boundaries sweetie. You expect way too much from yourself. You have quite a bit on your plate already taking care of hubby. Get to know and accept your limitations and then respect them. We all have our limitations. We are not super women! We would never ask of others what we often expect from ourselves. Comes from a low self esteem. Again, learn to take better care of your needs. There is a difference between 'selfish' and 'selfless'. We need to learn that important balance. The old saying that 'we teach people how to treat us' has a great deal of truth to it. We do often teach people that our needs are not important. They begin to think that we have no limits and eventually begin to disregard our feelings and energies.  So draw the line girl. Have some self love.  It will help your health to improve. Warmest regards. X xx

I totally agree, if I'm stressed, my fybromyalgia gets worse, then you worry some more and so on, you need to find a coping practise, I do mindfulness that just helps me tune out for 10 to 15 minutes and it totally sets me into a more positive place anxiety and stress are so under rated.
