head rushes!!!!!

[ceecee]

hi i was wondering wether anyone else gets these feelings?
i started to get them last week after having a cold,it feels like i have lots of pressure in my head and when i,m really anxious i get like these head rushes(like when you sometimes get up too quick!!!!)i thought it was due to my cold but i,m not bunged up with congestion.
please help my mind is working overtime as to what it could be!!
i went to see a neurologist some weeks ago as i was worring myself sick that i had a brain tumour(the neurologist said he couldn,t find any signs of a tumour)
i feel like i,m driving everyone in my family mad(and myself!!!!)

thanks
take care

I get this - I thought it was due to low blood pressure, but apparently mine's ok. I feel like it's all the blood rushing to my head, as though I'm standing on my head. Mine goes away, then comes back when I am most anxious. Horrible, but harmless I think!

Hi Rachel :D

I have had these, they can be scary. I know its dame hare hun but try not to hate this feeling, it will only feed your anxiety.

What I found helped and took time to work was to change my thought pattern on this symptom, when the head rushes come on, instead of thinking Ohhhh I hate this, just go with the flow, think of someone masarging (spell check) your head and think how nice it feel or think of it as warn water running over your head and think how warm and nice if feel. Mrs anxiety does not like nice thoughts, she cannot feed therefore, she goes away..

This may not work right away but with time, it worked for me.

Hope it works for you.

TAKE CARE

Wishing you well

I know exactly how you feel, I have suffered with these for the last few years and while unpleasant they are not dangerous, I've even had an MRI scan to prove the point :D

Hi Rachel

I get these to. Its one of the worst symptoms of my anxiety.

They use to really worry me, but iv had them for over 2 years now, so iv got used to having them. I try not to panic when i get them, and that does help me a bit.

I realize this is an old thread, but I am currently going through these head rushes and you explained them perfectly! They’re easily one of the scariest symptoms I’ve dealt with so far. I’m 27 years old and feel like I’m going to have a stroke because of it. 😭 I hope you reply!

Praying you reply.. did you ever find out what this is? It’s so scary and I’ve been dealing with them on and off. Mostly “on” lately because I’ve been so worried about them. It feels like I’m going to have a stroke!
