Hi everyone,
I found this site whilst searching about headaches.
I have had a headache for the best part of a week and its not going away.
I have been to the GP a couple of times and he prescribed me codeine, which just makes me feel weird. He thinks its a stress related headache.
I do kind of think I might be anxious/depressed. I did ring NHS direct a few months ago as I has trouble breathing. After speaking to them for a while they put it down to a panic attack. I wasnt hyperventilating, just felt I had to breath for myself. When "coming down" from codeine yesterday I felt very peculiar and panicy.
I do find myself worry about the smallest things, and I am constantly thinking about things. I find it hard to switch off. I do feel the whole world is getting on top of me if that makes sense. Every thing seems far worse than what is is. The headache makes things worse, something else to worry about. I just want to feel "normal". I have alot of stress at work, and sometimes my personal life is a struggle. Sometimes I just want to switch off from everything, but I need to keep pushing on.
I hope I am not going mad, and would appreciate it if anyone had any advice (assuming this is the right place).
Thanks
