    Shooting pain in head and crawling sensation, anxiety symptom?

    Since last night I have had a shooting pain in my right temple area, I thought it might be a congestion type pain but I am sure you dont' get shooting pain with that, maybe its my facial migraine again but I am sure someone on here once said that they get shooting pain in the temple and a feeling of crawling on the scalp on that side of the head aswell, has anyone had this?

    It is a shooting pain on right temple area and then at side of head I have crawling sensation? very odd, lol!

    Hi again

    Yes absolutely!
    I get sharp pains in my right temple(and occasionally my left)
    The feeling in the side of my head at my temple and up into my head is like muscle spasms or heavy creeping on my skin , weird!
    My right eye often twitches as well
    My right shoulder and neck is often very sore too

    Oh yeah, i used to get it where it felt like water was trickling down the inside of my skull and i used to panic like mad thinkin something wasnt right. i still get it but it now feels more like little mites are running about my brain. I get the sharp searing pains in the temple and numbness down the side of my face. It's all anxiety! i get a boat load of other symptoms too like numb hands. its all when i start to panic and then i panic more. its a viscious circle this anxiety lark!

    I'v had shooting, sharp pains in my head too, tiss very scary.Mine tend to start in my shoulders and then work there way up. I'v also had the water sensation too, tiss an odd feeling that. I found i got that sensation more if i was looking down.
    I'm in the same boat as you Libby, i'm not 100% sure its all anxiety related at times when things happen and the last few weeks i'v had just about every symptom going and have been hospital 3 times and the drs over 10 times. But i'm now recognising more and more symptoms as they crop up as anxiety related and this site has eased my mind alot with it also. But boy does it knock you around.

    Try not to worry to much, you will get there.
