    Hi, i have to say fortunately have not experienced any problems with weakness or pain but head pressure - without any doubt !! Head feels very foggy and tight and like it is pulsating, this also comes with strange head type rushes which have nearly pushed me off my feet. Had all the tests - nothing found - so I guess is down to anxiety / tension ? Nightmare, I cannot be rid of it !

    thanks for responding. Yes the head rashes are so weird. It happened to me yesterday while I was in a store. I had to just stop and do my breathing so that I could function.

      yes Gemma, it’s an awful feeling. i’ve had this on and off for over 30 years. The only thing that helps a little bit is when I do meditations that include breathing exercises. they are sort of a hypnosis meditation where you are so relaxed it almost feels like you’re floating.

      another thing I started doing is completely changing my diet.no sugars especially. Sugar is an inflammatory and it aggravates anxiety. Hope you feel better soon take care

      HI GALE!

      how have you been doing? I was wondering did you get the Covid vaccine because I thought you mentioned before that you did. If so, did it have any effect on your anxiety symptoms? Because I know a lot of people get neurological issues with the vaccine and I don’t want to make the ones I already have any worse. That’s my hesitancy. Anyway, I do hope you’re doing well . ❤

    Feels like there's a big rock lodged in my head causing unstable head feelings along with dizziness and confusion! Normal MRI findings.

    A cup of coffee will make these symptoms appear and anxiety resurfaces, my blood pressure would rise to 150/90.

      yes that happens to me also. I’m sorry you are going through this because I know exactly how it feels. I’ve had this on and off for over 30 years. I can’t take any caffeine at all because everything just gets worse. don’t know what we’ve done to deserve this. It’s not something that goes away after a week or a month and for some people for years. Just take one day at a time I think is the only thing we can do. ❤

    This is exactly what I've been going through this past week. It comes over like a wave, the back of my head starts buzzing, pressure all in my head and face and it's like all my arm muscles and leg muscles turn to stone. I've had terrible internal vibrations in my body and head too. I think it's anxiety. I have been frightened to death by it. Today I've been letting it be there and staying calm and it's still there but not as bad.. its probably the adrenaline firing off I think. In the evening all of my body aches like I've run a marathon 🥴
