Is this anxiety/panic?

[louise0501]

Hey

the last three nights I have felt awful. I have headache/sinus pains and I have been feeling dizzy and panicky and then it passes after a nice bath and tablets. It only ever seems to be in the evening and I have experienced this before but I just keep thinking maybe this time it's a brain tumour.

What do you guys think? Could this be anxiety or something serious? Any advice?

Please reply
love louise xx

Hi Louise

I think a lot of us that suffer from anxiety find that there are times of the day when we are always worse. Mine is usually tea time or first thing in the morning - I've no idea why!

It sounds as though your sinus problems have made you feel hyperaware of what's going on inside your head, which is probably what's causing the dizzy feelings (although sinusitis can sometimes cause this as well). What's important is that it got better after you relaxed.

Hope this helps

My sinus's used to cause pressure on my head and lightheaded turns. I know its a horrible feeling but the steam from the bath probably helped with the sinus issues.
