Sharp pain in head
Hi Everyone
This is my first post on this website, I have been reading everyone else's posts for a few months now but feel brave enough today to post my own message.
I have been suffering with anxiety for years, normally about my health and I also have panic attacks. I have something wrong with me everyday, palptations, stomach problems, headaches, aches and pains in my back, shoulders, neck etc. My latest problems is that I am having a sharp pain near my temples, not very often maybe 5 times in a day, I have had it for a few days now and the area where I am having the pain feels tender to touch. I mentioned it to the doctor a few days ago when I went there for one of my other problems which they are now looking into and she said it wasnt anything to worry about and come back if it gets worse.
Does anyone else get this or ever had it? I just want some reassurance really so maybe I will stop worrying about it so much.
Thanks

Re: Sharp pain in head
'Allo Missy,
Yes I suffer from these pains too -sometimes in my temples, sometimes on the top of my head and sometimes down the back. I'm not a doctor but most of the aches and pains I get seem to be down to tension and anxiety -relax :-)
