Hey folks,
I’m kind of freaking out a little and could use some support. The last week or so I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night with a bit of pressure and dizziness in my head (above my left eye in the front of my head) and tingling throughout my extremedies that doesn’t make them feel numb but almost cold like they aren’t receiving blood. But this ‘pressure’ feeling in the one spot in my head only happens when I wake from sleep and am lying down. Once i get up it tends to go away (though the anxiety stays). I keep immediately jumping to blood clot or brain tumour and throughout the day I’m a ball of anxiety.
I went to the doctors yesterday and got some blood work done, now I’m just waiting on the test results. I wasn’t nervous about the results, in fact when I went to bed last night I was sure this was all anxiety related. So when I woke up about 15 minutes ago that’s when I decided to stay in the same position, deal with the building pressure and dizziness and try and push through it (thinking it’s anxiety). But then I just feared for my life. What if it is a clot and I have a stroke, or what if it just kills me? So I got up and now I’m writing this out.
I know it sounds like anxiety “what if this and that”, but the pressure build up in my head is what is really freaking me out. Looking for help to see if anyone else has ever had these symptoms. Anyone else out there similar to me?
Thanks so much
Scott
