Hi Ella
I get this too, infact i get most anxiety symptoms, which makes me think this is not anxiety and it has to be something more serious. Like you i fear stokes, heart problems, ms. I get the pulling sensations too.

I know, just when you get used to one symptom and take it for what it is, another rears its ugly head. x

That was one of my first symptoms after I had a panic attack. I had it for about 2 weeks, then I got a massage and it released a lot of shoulder tension which relieved the shooting pain!

Right now I have an aching pain on the lower right side of the back of my head. I had a massage today, so logically, it's probably related to that. But now I'm convinced I have meningitis or a brain tumour. :(

Why does anxiety do this to us? I'm exactly the same, i have a slight pain in my head at thats it, its the worst thing out, not the fact that i may have slept funny etc. It's then on my mind all day and i can't seem to enjoy my day. I feel fluey, ache, heart beats faster, sweaty etc, so that that reinforces the fact that there must be something seriously wrong.
