    it’s very common with anxiety! I get that also off and on for many years. And yes it can happen daily. Nothing serious just another symptom of our friend anxiety.try to reduce your anxiety by relaxing your mind. Lots of great meditations on YouTube. You’re going to be fine!

    oh yes. I get eye pressure as well as head pressure. I also noticed that when I have a lot of screen time, the eye and head pressure increases. so I’m trying to be careful how much time I spend online. But the nervous system is very sensitive to anxiety so that’s why there are so many symptoms people get with anxiety. It’s harmless but very annoying. ❤
