Hi All,
For over a year now, I have had a pressing sensation in my scalp/temple/head. I had a brain MRI and this did not show anything of significance. I do not worry about this symptom any more and am used to it now. However, I have read that this can be caused by anxiety.
In the last 6 months, my health anxiety has become more pronounced. I do generally feel on edge most of the time with the biggest worry my health.
For the last two months, I have had all over body aches and pains. The worst areas are hands but also shoulders and thighs. These manifest themselves as either jabbing sensations (a bit like with flu) or a burning sensation. My sister has had fibromyalgia for several years and this is always in the back of my mind. This symptom is the one that I am most fearful of. The good news is that I don’t have any significant fatigue and am able to do a brisk 20 minute walk each day. Can anxiety really cause such aches and pains all over the body?
In recent months I pretty much always feel lightheaded.
In the last two weeks I have developed jaw aches and pains.
Any comments or thoughts would be greatly appreciated about the below symptoms: (the one that most concerns me is the all over body aches and pains)
All over body aches and pains
Continuous Lightheadedness
Pressing sensation in the scalp/temple
