Hi Ella
You don't have to feel anxious to get symptoms, this is why it's so hard to believed its anxiety. I've had all kinds of symptoms when not feeling particularly anxious. I've had the tickling sensation in my head, head pressures, trickling in my ears everything you name it. Just try and take it for what it is, just a symptom of anxiety. x

Hi Ella; I struggled with this when my anxiety was at its worst. It's a strange can't-quite-reach-the-itch sensation, isn't it? Very odd. Very disturbing. But distraction's key: do something which doesn't allow your mind to wander - like watch a great film, bake something new, or exercise to music. It'll pass. It's just one of the lovely little symptoms anxiety likes to throw at us from time to time.

Funnily enough i'm having this right now (although it's not funny) also having it on my face which is horrid, i keep thinking i'm having a stroke!

me too......but i just think ooooo it's that nice feeling of ants massaging my head again! lol .....loose the fear of it and it will subside :) and you are not having a stroke ....you wouldn't be typing messages on here if you were :) xxxxx

Hi, I have really bad anxiety but I've never felt this sensation before its like a itchy-tickling sensation, it has me really worried, I looked it up on google and someone posted it could be a tumor. Which tripped me out even more.

But what I read above kinda calmed me down a bit, but I'm still not sure. D:

Hello everyone, I just had an episode like this however mine seem more severe. My first happened 3 days ago and I was shaking uncontrollably. I also had dry mouth, tingling in my head with pressure and pains in my head as well. I was so worried I rushed to the hospital. This has happened every night for the past 3 days. It worries me even more that this continues to happen with no end in sight. PLEASE help me. Is there any cures? They happen every evening like clockwork. I don't want to live with this, and I don't want to rely on meds for the rest of my life. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
