Does anyone elseget this with anxiety? It feels like tons of pressure building in my head especially around the sides and in my ears. Almost feels like I always have to pop my ears. It sometimes feels like I get a bit dizzy and it feels like my whole face is numb. Its not minor and its constant. Its not a headache either, its just stiffness and pressure. I get depersonalization too, which ive chalked up to the stress. 

Does anyone else have this? I dont know how to relieve it. Ive tried allergy meds, over the counter pain meds, massage etc. nothing works. Noone else talks about this relating to anxiety so I get very worried! 

(I am being seen by a dr and neuro but have no diagnosis)
