Q: Pressure in head
asked by: Pounce on February 23rd, 2009

I am new to the site and excited to see that I am not alone in the anxiety department. It's hard to get people to understand how you feel sometimes.

A few nights ago, I was a wreck and for some odd reason had been nervous the day. When the night came, I found myself crying to my mother and trying to voice my feelings about things. Later on, I woke my BF up and cried alot more. I decided it was time for bed and went upstairs to watch a movie to help me doze off. As I was watching it, I suddenly has this weird feeling in my head and I sat up. It felt like something was running down behind my ears.

I am struggling with anxiety and have been stressed out alot lately. I do not sleep much and when I do, it's for long periods of time. I also drink alot of caffine and smoke cigarettes.

I should go to the doctor but, I cannot afford it nor do I want to put the burden on my family with the bills. My mother recently had an anurism and I worried alot that it would happen to me.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Or, should I see this as serious and go to the hospital?

Anyone have any ideas? Or, experiences that might help me towards a direction as for a doctor or it's just anxiety?

i can help
i know exactly what you are talking about. i experienced this a few years back. i'm sure most of this is caused by stress. stress is very hard to avoid. most normal ppl experience this. if you dont then you arnt normal lol. first off...the smoking and caffiene has got to go. you dont have to completely stop nut back off a little bit. this should help some. also ias crazy as this sound find a buddy to chat with about your issues that are stressing you. when you have someone to blow steam off on it will help out. if you don't have anyone i will be glad to be your buddy. these are just a few ideas if you need anymore help plese let me know.

ok most likely you were very tired from all the crying and such. you laid down and relaxed. you probably had dosed off and had a light slept dream. if you got up and sat back down or sat up sometimes i dont know y but it will give you a weird light headed feeling and depending on the situation it can be different. i have been known to go blind for a few seconds. i dont think its seriopuse

Thank you guys so much for the responses! I honestly think it's my sinuses multiplied by my own stress I put myself through. Right now I can feel myself getting a cold and the pressure feels right with my symptoms. I dunno, though.. I get so nervous sometimes. With bills and all the drama that goes on.. I just do not want it to be something serious. I cannot afford to go to the doctor nor be out of commission for the sake of my family. I am pretty much what holds it together and for me to get sick like that would be a disaster.

I am sure it's because of stress. Nothing serious. Do not worry. Better not to take too much caffiene and too much smoking. Lie down on your bed for few minutes and think zero. If it is not possible for you thing zero, then think about happy moments in your like. Drink lots of liquid and talk to your friend.
