Hey all,
For the past week I've been worried that I have a brain bleed, and I could have probably convinced myself that I'm OK by now, however, I've had many symptoms that just keep reinforcing this worry.
It all started when my friend came over last week. He is very into metal music, and I was mocking that. In the process I headbanged like metal fans are known to do. However, right after I immediately got worried that I had damaged my brain even though I hadn't actually hit my head on anything. Googling I saw that headbanging had caused at least one brain bleed in the past i someone.
Now at around this point I began to have an aching sensation right above and between my eyebrows, and it almost felt like I had a sunburn there. The next day was the same thing all day, and I was terrified that I had actually done damage. Then the next day, the burning had turned into a real headache. However, during these days, I had been developing congestion as well, and had written it off as being a head cold.
The next day I actually felt OK. However, the day after that, and continuing until now, I've had the original aching/burning feeling on my forehead between my eyebrows almost continuously. It has gone away maybe two or three times, during class where I am distracted by other things.
But now I'm still scared that this is brain damage. In my opinion, there's only two other things it may be: a head cold that has lingered this whole time (however, the congestion is mostly gone, and I still have the ache, or it could all be psychosomatic...
Also, just for reference, this video shows the same head motion that I did that started the worry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppsSE4wSuq8). However, I only did it for like 10 or 15 seconds at most...
Thanks!
