lately i've been having quite a few strange symptoms which are becoming increasingly worrying to me- surprisingly i've managed to hold off from googling them but i don't know whether they're all being caused by my anxiety or whether they're anything that i really do need to be worried about (for reference, i'm only 15 and female).
I've been having headaches that only go on for a moment or two, if even that, and are in certain areas of my head and face. for instance, I just had one on the left side on the bit right in front of my ear, and yesterday I was getting them around my eyebrow. The ones I notice most seem to be on the right side of my head, around the lower back or around my temples. They're kind of like really quick shooting pains.
I'm also really tired all the time- I don't have a lot of energy and I feel spaced out quite a lot of the time and kind of weak and weary. The sides of my neck have been hurting too, but I don't know whether this is anything to do with how I've been sleeping or whatever.
I'm just really scared about what could be going on with me- I don't know whether to go and see a doctor or not, because last time when I went about chest pains (which had taken me SO long to pluck up the courage to do), the doctor didn't really seem to take me seriously at all. I guess in some ways this was kind of a relief, and ever since he reassured me nothing was wrong the chest pains have TOUCHWOOD stopped. But whilst I really, really hope that all of this is being caused by my anxiety, I fear the worst and I really just want some reassurance and to stop worrying. what do you guys think?
