    Ya I get them from time to time and honestly it could be a little of both. Either the stress from the anxiety gives you a migraine or the migraine freaks you out and makes you anxious.

      Agree with juan. My migraines are worse when I'm stressed, I hold myself so tense I also get muscle tension in neck, back, and jaw. The more I focus on it the worse I convince myself it is, at least I know its nothing sinister and quite common with anxiety sufferers??

    I agree with Juan too. My migraines are severe I feel I need help before I do something I should do. I don't have them now but when they come they come every single day. Pills don't help sometimes it comes right after it went away. I thought I had a brain tumor. Anyways good luck with your headaches. Hope they leave you alone. Migraines are horrible.😑
