Hi
I had a very similar thing and was convinced I was truly ill, I went to see a consultant who explained about tension and the subsequent side effects. He suggested applying a heat pad to my neck and base of my skull area. I thought he was mad and was missing something serious, however I went home applied a hot water bottle and 30 mins later my headache disappeared. Give it a go
Hope it helps

Hi anx mum

This type of headache, on the left side of my head was my first fear when I got HA. I had all kinds of neaurological exams because after two-three months of headaches I was in a real state, so the doctor sent me everywhere.
Everything was clear, and still the headache continued, I went back to the neuro doctor and she said because touching makes it heart more it might be something to do with the nerves running on the outside rather than deep inside my head, and I should take B vitamin supplements.

Anyway after a while I calmed down and after about 6 months(!!!!) the left-sided headache got better as I focused on it less. Now I know that it must have been because of the anxiety, but it was surprisingly strong, very real and annoying.

Please feel better :hugs:
