Hi, I'm new here but I often end up here at night reading other posts to calm myself down. I'm disabled (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, a few others) plus, obviously, anxiety. Mostly social anxiety and health related anxiety since I have come extremely close to death multiple times.
I panic almost every night worrying that I won't wake up because, well.. I really want to live. I usually stay up until I can't possibly keep my eyes open anymore, usually 5 or 6 am.
For past few nights I've been getting sharp stabbing head pain that lasts only about 30 seconds with a dull ache for a few hours after. I know it is probably just nerve damage from my neck subluxation (t1 on t2), but I'm absolutely terrified of an aneurysm.

The pain wouldn't be dull and achy with only some sharp pains, would it? I am, once again, scared to sleep tonight.

I have been having sharp jabbing pain in my head, usually at night,it frightens me I also have neck problems after an accident so hoping it is just from that or most likely anxiety, I have been worrying about a few things over the last month.
