Brain shaking/internal twitching?

[anbeq14]

Recently I started feeling these subtle twitches or spasms (maybe even like a vibration feeling) in the back of my head/base of my head. I feel it a little during the day but mainly when I go to lay down and have my head against my pillow. It’s not constant but very often and freaks me out. I’m so scared I have something really wrong. I’m also getting pressure in the back of my head and pretty constant tension headaches. I keep trying to tell myself it’s from sleeping wrong or straining neck muscles. Has anyone else felt something like this?

Hi- I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. I’m not sure if you’re still experiencing this, but about 3 weeks ago I noticed some brain jitters (it’s like someone injected my brain with caffeine). I’ve also had tension- like headaches but they move all over. It started in the back and temples, and now it’s been on the top. Imagine if someone had their finger pressed on top of your head. It’s not painful, just horribly annoying. I’ve been to the chiro with some relief but it comes back. Have you found any relief, or are you still experiencing this?

Thank you for replying. Although this symptom did go away I’m still having tension headaches with pain and lots of pressure and other weird symptoms. I hate anxiety so much.

Hi, I’m glad the twitching and shaking went away. I’m sorry you’re still dealing with tension headaches. I hate them, and I struggle with them as well. I don’t know if this will help, but a stiff neck can cause referred pain to the head. I’ve been trying to be better about going to the chiro, getting massages and just doing stretches I find on YouTube. I hate anxiety too, it’s such a nasty beast.
