Can someone help calm me down pls, I live in a hot climate and yesterday I suffered a bad headache that started in my neck and radiated into the sides of my head above the ears, it was uncomfortable I had to take paracetamol and go to bed but while I was having the headache I was working myself up thinking it was an anuerism ( like we do )
Anyway woke up this morning headache gone but all of a sudden my right arm felt strange and so did the right side of my face I immediately looked at my face nothing drooping and I can feel my arm when I touch it, but that was it I convinced my self I'm having a stroke, I'm walking around the garden now trying to calm my self down, I'm 37 and I do smoke but exsercise regularly, what's happening guys is this anxiety symptoms from me working my self up from the headaches???
Would appreciate some calming advise
Thank you!

You probably need to go back and look at what caused the headache, aside from the heat. It may also be a cause of the anxiety.

Thank you Hanshan! Much appreciated..

Hi Earthmum, I get things like this quite often. I think it's related to anxiety. I have been having physiotherapy on my neck and back which helps as it relaxes my muscles. Sometimes with these headaches I can rub hard on my neck with a couple of fingers and actually pinpoint the tense area that's causing the pain in my head if that makes sense.

Kirbear4 thank you!
My husband gave my neck and shoulders a massage and it really did help, I was so knotted up that I really do feel that was the cause of the headaches ...
Thanks again for your reply :))
