Heavy head.....please help....

[Alexy]

So as iv previously mentioned iv had this headache..but like, the best way i can describe it is having a heavy head..like a weight in my head.....has anybody else ever experienced this??

[PAULDEX_30]

ive had this doctor put it down to tension and anxiety

[nomorepanic]

Sounds like tension in your neck. A good massage will help that.

Hi,

I've also had this problem quite a bit and its usually how my panic attacks start. My neck gets shakey with this and the head feels like its too heavy to support. As already said it is the tension from anxiety.

All the best

Yes I have this at the moment and have done for a couple of months and I find it's worse when I've been drinking or very tired.

Thank you so much to everybody who replied
Iv been to the doctors, because im scared it could be like a brain tumour or something horrible:S And she gave me cocodamol and told me to go back in week if it hadn't gone to be refered to as neurologist..i don't really find the cocodamol to be helping so much, as its not so much an ache just the heaveyness and a sore neck..:S
Its really annoying as i have exams next week and im having a hard time revising for them..urgggg:(
Does anybody reckon that the fact i am constantly thinking about my headache might be making it worse?
Its really getting me down like, im too scared to plan for the future because i don't know if ill make it there..:( xxxx

I get this often too, its like this now. Yup very heavy head but that’s mostly tiredness, tension and maybe a bit of eyestrain.

Also possibly bad posture related to the neck
