Headaches

[pb]

I keep getting such bad headaches, made worse by moving my head when standing.
A couple of weeks ago, I was worried about my heart being too fast and kept pressing my neck to check my pulse. Unfortunately I did this alot for one day.
I dont do this anymore, but I'm now suffering with these headaches.
I'm really worried, but am trying to tell myself it's coming from my neck, but also scared I've damaged something.Also worried about my blood pressure, but too scared to take it

Can anyone help, I've had a headache daily for over two weeks.
At the moment I've got throbbing behind my ears.
I'm really stressed..

Probably a tension headache, maybe see your GP for reassurance?

I also get tension headaches ... most of my tension surrounds my scalp. What I do, is, I use frozen vegetables from the freezer and about 5 minutes off and on. Meds do nothing for me when this happens and the only thing is to make sure I'm not dehydrated.

Thank you for your replies.
I'm trying to stay calm and to not focus on the pain, this really does make it worse.

Still getting headaches
Have been waking with thumping headaches, so scared it's my blood pressure, but really terrified of having it taken.

So maybe check the simple things- eyesight, hydration, screen time, sleep? Hormones, virus even something like posture and neck tension can cause persistent headaches. There are a million and one benign reasons and unfortunately anxiety will really fuel head pain too. Headaches, even ones that keep coming back are so common and you’re not listing red flag symptoms at all. Maybe look into some of the quick wins, make sure you’re drinking plenty, getting good rest, fresh air…then work on looking at maybe seeing a chiropractor or optician. I’m sure you’re fine, deep breaths x

Thank you for your reply.
It just feels like a vicious circle, I'm hoping these headaches eventually get better.

Anxiety feeds most physical symptoms unfortunately- are you getting any help with that? X

I am waiting to have an assessment for talking therapy.
