Hello everyone,

    Ok so for a week now I’ve been experiencing this weird throbbing pressure on my left temple area right above my ear as well. It doesn’t really hurt, just feels like a lot of pressure and it will pulsate and throb at times. Of course I’m think I have a brain tumor or an aneurysm. Can anxiety cause this? Or is it something else? It’s been pretty steady for an entire week now.

      Ya I have neck and back issues, but have never gotten this weird feeling in my temple before. It’s probably all anxiety, but I have health anxiety so it makes everything worse. 😩

    I totally believe I have a brain tumour and I google it all day long.  It now consumes my every moment.  It all started with a severe migraine that turned to tension headaches, and now I find every symptom to go along with it. My life is very stressful AND I have tight neck and should issues.  But I have constant head weird weird feelings.   Mainly on one side but like today all across my forehead.  It’s ruining my life totally x

      I’m so sorry! I totally understand what you’re going through. I have severe health anxiety and think I’m dying 1,000 times a day. From a heart attack, to a stroke, to a brain tumor or aneurysm. It sucks living like this. On top of that I get the anxiety symptoms everyday even when I’m not particularly anxious. Dizziness, nausea, eyes always weird, hot flashes, weak arms, hands, and legs, heart palpitations, feeling of impending doom, depression, the list goes on and on. I feel these symptoms every single day and it’s a nightmare. I am no longer able to work or drive bc of it.

    Hi Amykins,

    I totally get you, Amykins. I have similar, weird head sensations in my left temple, jaw and above my left eye. I'm very fearful and worried about these feelings. They become chronic. I also have neck and back problems. I need a hip replacement. I don't sleep well. I also have semi regular doctor visits. What's happening? The pandemic made everything worse because it seriously affected my business. I'm also a 30+ year cancer survivor so I've had past serious health issues. I know anxiety and stress could be the culprit but does anything help you to relax?

    Healing thoughts,

    Ray
