At the first, i didnt think anything of it, but after 15 days the constant headaches didnt seem to go away. I got worried and until the days passed that I think im always anxious about it and today, the headaches went from the right side of my head to the left side. Im worried about it and dont know what to do. And being anxious about this isnt really helping. I would love if someone told me something similar about my experience

    Hi .have you seen your doctor. If you have all tests and normal, could be tension headaches, anxiety and focusing on your headaches will make them worse definitely, not unusual for me to have them for days , that bad it hurts to move my head. Also don't know if you get aches ( muscle tension )anywhere else, jaw, neck, back? Also don't know if you are on meds or take anything for headaches, know some painkillers can cause rebound headaches so actually make them worse, defo speak to doctor if you haven't already and please don't google, anxiety and googling just makes you worry more, hope you're reasured it can definitely just be anxiety😊??

    Hello. What type of headaches are you having?. I've had a heafache for the past 2 weeks and they dont seem to get any better or go away. I'm starting to worry as well. Like my temples hurt with pressure so does my jaw neck and parts of my head even including my ears. Are your symptoms similar too?.

      My headaches are somewhat dull during the first 30 days but then this week it moved to the left side of my head with pains on the back and a little bit on the top as well as my temples. but nothing with my jaws and neck.

    Maybe you ( if your anything like me ) are prolonging the headaches by thinking of them . I had a headache for weeks and with health anxiety was starting to think along the lines of tumours and something serious . I went to the optometrist who took pics and told me if anything serious especially as pain was in my temples she would of been able to tell , immediately with reassurance my headaches went away . I don't take my own advice at all but it could definitely be a mind over matter thing . Oh the other side it could be tension as mentioned above which will hang around daily but are not dangerous
