Frustrated and scared
Posted , 3 users are following.
Every time I get a anxiety or start to feel an attack coming on I get this warm/burning sensation in my head. I have talked to people on this forum about it before I have talked to 2 different doctors a psychologist and my psychiatrist and they all say it's anxiety. I've also had a tension headache for weeks now. It comes and goes but it's super heavy feeling on my frontal lobe. My body has been achy which could be do to my job cutting hair and been working out a bit more this past week to try and help my anxiety. I stopped smoking pot after 15 years almost 2 weeks ago and I know that can definitely have withdrawls and I know that but my anxiety is out of control. Every little thing I feel or get worried about bc I can be a hypochondriac and get scared something is wrong with me. Tumor or who knows. I've been feeling like crap for weeks now and just started lexapro 4 days ago and I am also taking a small amount of Xanax for when I have attacks and for sleep. Anyone else go thru this? These headaches are putting so much pressure on my forehead and making my eyes feel heavy. Any thoughts please??

It's anxiety, trust me! Why don't you try going to the doctors and just let them know flat out that you want tests done? I sort of had to do that to get an MRI. It's a sad thing for me to do but let me tell you my headache went from a migraine to just a little throbbing pressure now. I let them know that I felt like a prisoner in my own body and it affected my everyday life. I just needed to know that I was healthy! And trust me I had the same symptoms as you. My head just felt weird and I had trouble concentrations and my memory sucked! These headaches could also be withdrawals like I said last time. You just gotta wait it out and I promise you that you will feel better in no time! Try to lay off the Xanax too. I used to take those every night and they caused me headaches. Getting off of them sucked but now I'm okay. Do you have a smart phone? Here's a great anxiety app called Pacifica! You could join group chats and have conversations with people who share the same experiences. This app has helped a lot with my anxiety, plus, you get a faster response!
I promise you things will get better.
