    I think if you concentrate on anything for long enough it will take over your thoughts and yes that's anxiety but if you had m r I recently then that should have reassured you a little I understand what you are feeling go back to your doctor and ask to speak to someone regarding your anxiety don't suffer in silence

    I think that's normal for anxiety attacks. In my case, when I have bad anxiety my head starts to tingle and as strange as it sounds it kinda feels like a vibrating sensation! No worries though, you're okaysmile just don't over think it. It could cause a placebo effect!

    Hi

    I have actually got cervical dystonia in the neck but also tension bought on by anxiety makes the neck and shoulders very stiff.Have you a ice pack or even warmth like a wheat bag eases mine.

    Good Luck
