I am not sure where to start, but I am in need of some support, I don't know what to do to feel better and I am so scared something is terribly wrong!
Basically, I have been having a headache on and off since last Thursday, every single day. Paracetamol and iburpofen help a little bit, but today it feels worse. I have had my BP up recently when I visited A&E and GP a few times, several times due to a headache as well, but I was panicking every time and they put it down to that. But when this headache first started I got it into my head it must be high BP, because I have been really stressed, and imagining astronomic numbers! So I went to GP yesterday and my BP was not really near what I was imagining, it said it was148/97. Considering how terrified I looked, she said that it was not terrible and not likely to be the reason for the headache. More likely it was tension headache due to stress. I had my doubts about the BP reading, but I don't want to open that can of worms! But I decided to go for a massage last night hoping it would help, and afterwards I felt fine.
However today it is much worse then it felt this whole time! Pain is all over, even between my eyes, the top of my head feels like something heavy is pressing me down and sides being pressed. My forehead and the back of the head hurts too! And when it gets bad it is like my eyes can't focus and I feel uncoordinated in a way, like I was finding it hard to write easily, like my muscles feel weak. The whole head feels like it is being squeezed in, to the point I can't think and I am also getting some weird sensations across scalp and some more painful spots around the head. I am so scared and feel like this will never end.
I have pain in my neck as well when I stretch it sideways and backwards, had the neck pain for a while and I was wondering if this could be the reason, but it is hard to believe you can experience this kind of pain due to neck tension...
I have a lot of stress in my life right now, but as do many others...there were redundancies in my team, which has culminated last week with people being notified, but there are also some ongoing issues with that. Then just financially being squeezed from all sides, like probably lot of people. But having a few surprise bills that really set me back...but it is not my first time to be under stress!
I know this must seem like a lot of jumbled up thoughts! This is how I feel right now! I had a few days off after the last week's events to try and relax, but that has obviously not worked and I am dreading being back at work tomorrow. But on the other hand, after events such as those, I am worried about taking more time and being seen as unable to deal with something that can happen to every business, giving them reason to doubt me and my abilities...
