Hi all,
Im a 32 y/o and for the past 3 weeks I've had constant headache - from the minute I wake up to the time I go to sleep. Predominantly left front side but can creep round the back and towards my neck. It's a dull constant sensation, not agonising sharpe or burning pain.
I went to gp on Monday about the headache, he told me it was cluster headaches and prescribed neproxen.
Over the next few days I developed pins and needles in my hands and feet and tingly sensation in my lips. This freaked me out so went back to doc, saw a different doctor - told him I had previously suffered with anxiety and he seemed to cling on to that and put all my symptoms down to GAD. Prescribed me sertrapline (sorry if that's spelt incorrectly!)
That was Friday, since then I've now developed a weird almost weak feeling in my right hand, still able to do everything, it just feels odd and also a similar sensation in my right shin and foot. This was enough to make me panic and call NHS direct and out of hours gp this morning - who again reassured me that due to my age etc it wasn't a stroke or anything sinister, and said he thought it sounded like migraine. I am a fit healthy 32 y/o who up until 3 weeks ago was working out almost every day/vegan diet for past 6 years so considered myself pretty healthy.
I guess im looking for some reassurance that these symptoms can all be down to my anxiety, 3 doctors have told me not to worry but I can't help freaking out.
Thanks all x
