Hi Everyone,
I've been getting headaches almost everyday for the last three weeks, I went to my GP who told me I as fine and it's just down to anxiety. I saw a clinical phsycologist today too who also said it is most likely the anxiety.
I still need some reassurance though :(
I feel like there is this pressure just right of top dead centre in on my head, and if I go out and not feeling 100% then I get like this squeezing feeling on either side of my head. And if I look up or around quickly then I get like a vertigo feeling.
I'm happy to accept it's anxiety if I could get some reassurance that I'm not the only to experience this and that it will go eventually?
I have been taking paracetomol, which sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't.
I'm not on any other meds, clinical phsycologist suggested anti-depressants to me today for their anxiety relief properties but i declined and said I've come a fair way in a year I want to beat this without meds. He agreed said okay we'll see how I get on.
But please, anyone who can relate to this please post as I need to stop worrying about this and focusing my attention on it or it will stick around for longer :(
Just to add, I have been under a fair amount of stress this last couple of weeks but have never experienced headaches like this before, and I'm moving house on Monday so need to be fairly 'well'...
