Headache
Posted , 3 users are following.
I am experiencing headache on my left side of my head. Feel as if it's tingly and cold. Today I had anxiety attack at work, so I am sure that is what caused this headache. I have been having these headaches for 3 months now. I haven't seen a doctor for it although I should. I have health anxiety. My father passed away 3 years ago and ever since then I started to have anxiety attacks.
I haven't taken any meds because I am scared to get addicted but at this point which I had some.
Has anyone else experienced headaches along with anxiety?

Hi, yes I get headaches mines feels like there's pressure, and stabbing pains, like you I'm also scared of taking medication, but I did once back in October 2016, I just started having Anxiety, panic attacks in May 2016, out of no where at the mall, anyways the Med I took at the hospital was Valium it was 5mg, I was scared to take it to be honest, I kept asking questions.
I finally took it, and within 5 or 10 minutes the med kicked in, and took all my symptoms away, dizzness, lightheaded, heart racing, headaches, anxious, negative thoughts, derealization, etc I was able to sleep I only woke up maybe once or twice, and I went back to sleep, before I was waking up 4 plus time per night or I would only sleep 2 hours. The med lasted for 11 hours then once it wore off I was back to my anxious self, while the med help, it made me feel like a zombie, that was the only tine I ever took any med for my anxiety I still have anxiety, but I'm also a agoraphobia

I had the exact same... which i hasten to add was very scary.
Left head pain. weird sensations like a crawly feeling, tingly. and funny vision.
I went to GP as i feared the worse.
After all the tests etc that came back normal.... I was told it was anxiety.
I have upped meditation, relaxation, positive affirmations, keeping active and hydrated.. and things have improved.
Still a few dizzy times and vision but 95% better.
I did lots of research and put into action everything that was suggested.
Now i am a warrior not a worrier xxx lol xx
Keep your chin up and hang in there and research how you can self help x

I need to visit a gp to make me feel better. I am sure it is just anxiety.

Yes do , Thats what i did , i must say i didnt expect them to send me immedialty for a CT scan and do all the blood tests .. A bit worrying at the time but reassuring after the results all came back good. And a follow up visit with a consultant that told me i worked too hard so take A week of work and destress 🤓
