It drives me mad sometimes when you go to the doctors and because they know you or your history they say 'it's anxiety'. It makes me not want to go to the doctors and I have to take my CPN with me.
Anyway rant over lol. I also suffer with quite bad headaches, I get them everyday but they are not consistent to a certain time. It mainly effects me at the sides of my head and around my eyes. I know mine is due to tiredness and stress, as I suffer from insomnia quite badly (hence me sitting here at 3.10am browsing the site) lol. This in turn makes me irritated and stressed during the day.
If you have another scan due why not ask your gp for something to relax you before the event, that way you can have it done properly and get the result you deserve and need. xx

Hi guys - I know it's hard to believe but it really is anxiety causing the headaches. I've just come out of a 3 month period of having headaches every single day and it's been a living nightmare. I've gone through phases of thinking I had a tumour, anuerysms and at times thought I was having a stroke because my right side would feel odd! The more I stressed about it the worse it got and I found myself in a vicious circle. Numerous doctor appointments found nothing (haven't had an MRI but passed all physical neuro tests they make you do). I also used to think I was being fobbed off because how could I feel so crappy without there being something wrong !! I decided I was done with doctor appointments and decided to just 'get on with it'! One day I woke up and I was headache free for that whole day. It did come back but my headache days got less and less. I told myself that tumours don't present themselves in that way - symptoms do not come and go. Another thing I've learned to do is chill out and relax more. I never believed in all that relaxation/hypnosis crap but I started listening to it a few weeks ago when I went to bed and I couldn't be without it now. Good luck with your MRI Adam - I'm certain they won't find anything though. xx

Thanks for that I just hope it is all down to anxiety and stress its just so hard to believe its that even tho I've suffered wi anxiety since 18 and I'm now 28 I managed to control the anxiety to a level of being able to function and have some sort of life but after a month in to head aches the anxiety hit me hard I've tried beleiving its anxiety but certain things like head pains when bending and moving my head on pillow it just don't add up I am really scared and I've noticed I'm off balance a bit as well I need this scan so much so I can put to bed the fears r face wat I think it is I'm really scared bout it and can't see it been owt else xx
