    so there are all different kinds of headaches. Headaches and head pressure are very common with stress and anxiety. You could possibly be having tension headaches. It’s good that you got checked out and nothing was found. Really try working on reducing your anxiety and think if there’s anything in your life that is causing you stress. One thing that helps me a lot with stress headaches is getting a massage especially on my temples. But I would say if you’ve tried everything and you’re still getting that, just let your doctor know. I really doubt it’s anything serious though especially with your history of anxiety . Try to keep a positive mindset because when we worry that our anxiety goes up and then our sensations continue. I think you’re gonna be OK. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water because many people get dehydrated and don’t even know and that can also cause headaches. Take care
