I understand how scared you feel because I get the same sensations on and off and have for a long time.
i’ve had many tests also that were all normal.
They are not missing anything.. if you’ve had many tests then you are OK. if this has been going on for a year then it’s nothing serious.
The one thing they have difficulty diagnosing even with tests is anxiety and stress. That’s exactly what causes my head sensations. Doctors cannot see how we feel when we have anxiety. if somebody has a broken bone then that is easy to diagnose. But when a person has anxiety it causes many sensations that doctors cannot see. That’s highly likely what you are going through and what millions of other people go through every day.
Think if there’s something going on in your life causing you anxiety or stress. we can have an underlying stress or anxiety that we’re not aware of that is causing sensations. The more you worry about this the more you all have the head sensations. I know this from experience.
The best thing you can do is relax your mind as much as possible. speak with a counselor because it can be difficult to manage alone.
I do meditations twice a day for anxiety to calm down my mind and body. But I also practice it on my own during the day by how I think. I’m trying to break the habit of negative and worrisome thinking because all of that increases anxiety which increases the head symptoms. whatever we think will magnify whether it’s positive or negative.
get some support for this. I hope you feel better soon

Thank you for your reply, yes its been going on for a year., somedays the symptoms are so bad that I can't stand it. I guess the hard part for me is that believing anxiety can cause such horrible symptoms where you feel like your gonna die. I try to get rid of negative thoughts but I can't when I'm struggling so bad. Could I ask you what head sensations you get? I quit my job and quit driving due to this my life feels like it's over. Just so much doesn't make sense. And yes I've had many tests on my head and ears and nothing major noted. But my symptoms are real.

yes the symptoms are real but that does not make them some thing that is serious. I can tell you that when I was in my 20s I suddenly got symptoms and sensations and I thought I had a serious condition! They all came on at once and they included dizziness, feeling like I was moving or things were moving around me which they actually weren’t, I had floaters in my vision, overall weakness, shortness of breath at times, muscle twitching, ringing in my ear, I had vertigo a few times, And several more.
The head sensations were as I mentioned dizziness or lightheadedness, other times it could be intense head pressure on one side, I also would feel at times a vibration feeling in my brain.
people can have different symptoms or sensations from other people and it could still all be related to stress and anxiety. anxiety can produce many different sensations
so that was in my 20s and all my testing came back normal.
I am now way older than that and still alive! I am 100% sure every one of those sensations was due to long-term stress and anxiety.
your Life is absolutely not over! You just need some support with this to learn the best way to manage it. Try to get in the habit of thinking positive and finding solutions. It’s not so much the problems that we have, it’s how we manage them that is the most important.
and yes anxiety can definitely cause everything that you’re feeling! Anxiety causes the fight or flight response and when that is activated and adrenaline is released, all kinds of sensations can occur!
feel free to private message me anytime. Take care
