weird head sensations!

[sadie]

Hi all,

I haev been positing quite a bit over the last few days... I think my anxiety hs came to a head again over this last week.

I suffer a lot of different head symptoms and I am getting worried again. They are like a buzzing head which feel hot in places and I have had feelings of hotness running through my head. I have had these symptoms before so they are not new but I just wish I knew what was causing them. I have been thinking, stroke, brain tumour, blood clot, problems with my head or spine...

I think I am worrying more than usual about these symptoms as my friend told me yesterday that her friend from works husband died during the week of a brain tumour very suddenly. When i hear such things I start the worrying....

I know I have had a MRI and more recently I saw a headache specialist and he thinks my symptoms are emotional based and once I sort these with therapy they will disappear.

I am just finding it difficult to stop the worrying that there is something more sinister going on. I think because I keep getting crunching and squeezing feelings in my head too as well as funny tastes and a fuzzy tongue, tingling hands, feet, weak arms etc. I just feel from the neck upwards there is something not right.

IS this just normal stress/anxiety symptoms?

Hi Sadie


I had the head problem aswell as everthing else to go with anxiety YES it is normal to have this my head was tingling quite alot and i had pain just above my eyes sometimes it would last all day. The other symptoms you have seam to be anxiety i to worried there was something wrong with me but it is all part of it.

Try not to worry to much

take care

Hi Sadie,
I am not going to be of much help here, but, i have exactly the same as you describe with the most awful dizziness too!! I still can't convince myself it it 'just' anxiety, but as it eases at different times (then other symptoms appear) i guess it is stress otherwise it would be there continually and would probably get steadily worse!!!Hope some of this makes sense take care xxxxx

Hi Sadie,

My problems are all head related too, like I get ringing in the ears and like little shocks going off all sorts!

And also the dizziness too, so you really aren't alone here.

First Anxiety...then panic attacks...now GAD and depression

Thanks everyone,

The symptoms do come and go throughout the day so I guess if they were something serious they would be here all the time?

Its so difficult to put all symptoms down to anxiety... I just cant get my head round this at times. There seems to be no end to the amount and types of symptoms it can give you.

Take care

Yes I know Sadie!

I agree sometime you have to think there has to be something else wrong, but I guess there isn't really!

Hi Sadie,

Your symptoms are ones I have had in recent months. I convinced myself all sorts of things were wrong with me. Trust me my list was similiar to yours and had some others as well, but the symptoms you have described have now eased with me, as I have become less anxious.

I truely believe, everything you listed is on that very long list of anxiety symptoms, but when you have these symptoms they are very real and mind over matter is not always easy.

The news a friend told you yesterday is probably just exasperating things, as you were already anxious.

Do try to not worry too much.

Hope you have got a good night's sleep.

Take care

This soundds like something I keep getting too. I get really itchy and tingly around my head, it feels really weird.

I don't get dizzy so much at the moment, my symptoms seem to go in phases. So I guess it must be anixety, it doesn't feel nice though.

I can relate Sadie, had exactly the same sensations.


Hope you are over this.

All the best.

These sensations get worse with changes in my medication either up or down. As my body adjusts to the new dosage, the symptoms seem to get better.
