Hi Jessica, maybe you are coming down with a flu? Is someone with you? If not, can you call a friend to come over? Make sure you are drinking enough fluid, as dehydration often makes headaches worse. A lot of people get the shooting pains in the head with anxiety, I know its horrible but it wont hurt you.

You are probably still really tensed up after suffering with panic at the dentist. You should now try to put that out of your mind, and well done for going by the way. Try breathing into a paper bag, and if you can get hold of some lavender, use that. Rest up, and dont be alone feeling like this xx

Hi Jessica, I am feeling pretty similar to you but I have also felt like it in the past and I got over that period. My symptoms (pressure and tightness in head, dizziness, exhaustion, depression) are causing me to be anxious and my anxiety is causing my symptoms to worsen. This is what happens to us. Are you on meds or have you had any therapy? I'm going to ask to be put on meds on Tuesday and seeing a psychologist in a few weeks, hopefully this will help as I can't do it on my own.

I really hope you start to feel better.

Carl.

no i dont have the flu i dont think,i dont have fever or sore throat nothing ,and no caugh......can anx cause sharp pains in my body

Yes it can, as anxiety makes us tense up without realising it and then you start to ache and get pains a bit like the day after you've been to the gym.

Try to relax, deep breathing is good as is relaxing your shoulders (think like you are dropping two heavy suitcases). Try also to distract yourself by doing something, even if it's housework or ironing or watching something on TV.

Flu can cause aches and pains without the cough cold-type symptoms too, I think you have just worn yourself out getting all worried about the dentist but now you've done that you will start to feel better

You will get through this just take care we are here to help if you need to talk...

What's the weather like in Ohio? It's grey and damp here in London!
