i know this sounds pathetic, and i know i shouldnt feel this way. but i've had a headache for 12 days now. it's not debilitating, its only mild to moderate pressure/squeezing pain in my head. but i am petrified. im staying off google, but stil i cant seem to beat this. i also am getting lots of floaters in my vision and finding it hard to focus my eyes.
this is a stressful time for me, im trying to write my dissertation, but im just petrified. i have seen the GP who wasnt worried, but that was a week ago now. i just dont understand why the headaches wont go. even when i distract myself it's stil there in the backgroud.
i have stopped taking painkillers for a week now cause i was worried they might be causing it, and ive also cut out caffeine (not that i ever had loads, just one cup of tea a day).
this pain is quite generalised, worse in my temples. i know it sounds like a tension headache but seriously, for 12 days??? i just have trouble believing it's anxiety. i also have quite tense neck and shoulders. i just want someone to tell me that they've had this and that they're ok. also i do suffer from migranes occasionally. but they are much worse than this with aura n stuff. this just feels different.
