Funny headache :(

[Maybe_Baby]

I've been having alot of new symptoms lately, and i don't know if they are anxiety related or not?
Im starting to scare myself really, as every pain i get, i automatically assume/think the worst, and then that sets my mind racing :(

I've been getting a lot of visual disturbances - Like floaters, flashing lights, foggy & blurred vision, and now for the past 2 days i've had a bad head, like a stotting headache but it is also tender-ish to touch the top of my head. Not only have i been very anxious the last several days, i've barely had any sleep and haven't had much to eat (both due to having an extremely active 5 month old son who is teething!!)
Are my symptoms due to anxiety or something more serious.
If it makes a difference i had a full blood count 2 weeks ago which revealed i am very anemic and i am on iron tablets. When getting these pains in my head i assume, tumor etc and panic myself :( x

Hi there

it sounds to me as though pretty much all of this could be down to anxiety, particularly if you're getting hardly any sleep as well. I very frequently get dreadful headches if I can't sleep. i can't remember offhand whether anaemia will cause them, but I wouldn't be surprised.

If you're getting visual disturbances, have you spoken to your GP about migraine? Having said that though, anxiety can cause foggy vision and make you more aware of floaters.

Anxiety causes all of these things (I get them too) and mine are even worse when I don't get enough sleep or food, which it sounds like you aren't getting enough of either! It does sound to me like it's definitely anxiety. If it's worrying you a lot check in with your doctor, but otherwise just try not to overwork yourself until you've had a nice sleep or some food. Try to carry around some dried fruit or something to keep your energy up!
