I know I keep going on but i need help in accepting that the horrible sensations i get in my head are anxiety!
Head rushes
feeling like i'm going to pass out
head pains / shooting / stabbing pains - very scary!!
dizziness - very bad
eyes feel like are going out of focus - but i can still see
ear congestion/ popping and ringing - like a pressure feeling in head/ear - only lasts a minute or so - but scaring me!
I'm seeing a neurologist this month to discuss my brain tumour fear - i feel like i have all the symptoms of a serious illness and not anxiety!!!!!
I had my eyes tested last week - had the full works/ photos of the back of my eyes, pressure tests etc - all looked 100% healthy and my vision was perfect, no need for glasses. I told the optician about my fears and she reassured me that she had no concerns and there was no pressure evident behind my eyes.
Had lots of tests at GP and all clear.
Treated for sinuses just in case with no response so GP says it all down to anxiety.
The thing is if I had chest pain etc then that is pretty much text book anxiety symptoms but mine don't seem to be to me!
Just need to know that other people get the same symptoms - someone who does believe that it's anxiety! old posts i have done people have related the symptoms to sinus issues or middle ear probs which I don't have.
I can feeling ok (not all that anxious) and bam i get the pains in my head! ear thing! - Is this anxiety????
