Tonight I've been feeling really anxious today. It all started when I had a pain in my neck right under the back of my skull. I've had this dull neck ache for a couple of weeks now, but I was just writing it off as sleeping wrong. Tonight it started hurting bad, and panic came right behind it. Now the anxiety is kicking in and I'm feeling all these strange symptoms.. I feel dizzy and the right side of my face is feeling numb. Right now I'm scared and anxious... Actually freaking out. I did the no no and googled. Now I'm convinced I have a major problem. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks Jo. I'm feeling a little better. Still a little anxious, but it's finally simmering down. I absolutely hate these things. They always make me think the worst of things. My sister tells me it plays off my fears. My biggest fear is dying and leaving my babies. So I guess I always think that I have a terminal illness. I just wish that these things would go away, and I would quit worrying about health issues.:weep:

:hugs:

I had this exact same pain last night! My neck had had the dull ache all day and then I had a really sharp pain just under my skull. I panicked about it for a while too, but had a distraction in the form of a glass of wine and the apprentice.
After a while I noticed it had dissappeared so I put it down to anx.

I hate these head symptoms the most, they are most scary to me!

Hope you are better xx
