About 6 weeks ago I started getting this weird feeling right above my right eyebrow. It comes and goes but the past 2 weeks it has been happening every time I wake up. It's not pain just a tightness that comes and goes. I have anxiety so I'm really freaking myself out. I just changed insurance so it doesn't start until June 1st. Should I wait or go to the ER?

    I'm really sorry that you're going through this, especially because I went through something similar for 6 months. It stopped a couple months ago after I started going to acupuncture...it sounds crazy, I know. I felt like I'd done everything...pediatricians, neurologists, medicine, eye doctor, MRI, and it was affecting my daily life. I finally decided to go to the acupuncturist and after 4 sessions, once a week, my headaches were 95% better. You have to do your research and make sure you go to the right person, but my acupuncturist says she can't remember how many years it's been since she couldn't cure a headache, or at least make it better. Please consider giving it a shot because I know how it feels lose all hope because of your headaches. Best of luck!

      Thank you so much for responding. It feels like I'm losing my mind at times because it comes and goes and because I have anxiety really bad I always assume the worst like a tumor or something. Since yesterday I still feel it but not as intense. I think I may still see a doctor about it but definitely will try acupuncture in the meantime. I appreciate you
