Im hoping someone with some stress experience could help me out and tell me what they think about what might be happening to me!
Ive had a range of really strange symptoms lately and ive been to quite a few doctors and alot have mentioned stress and anxiety could be the cause-im a little sceptical of attributing such serious symptoms to stress and im kind of confused as to what to think.
Ive had a strange tightness in my throat that makes breathing difficult and has been around for a few months.Feels sort of like someones strangling me.
The worst symptom has been a huge pressure in my head that isnt actually pain and is non responsive to painkillers.It makes me really vague and seems to come on far worse as of a nightime..(had ct scan which was fine)
ive also-only very recently-has a numbness around my whole facial area which doctors have said can be a symtpom of overbreathing.
Im not actually aware of any overbreathing or stress/panic attacks at all-i know that I do have stress in my life but feel like I handle it pretty well and I have no more stress than other people-its not like I have extra stress right now or anything.I have had periods years ago of extreme stress with my father passing away etc that I experienced none of these symptoms....
I was hoping someone could shed some light on if this sounds like stress/anxiety symptoms?What medications would be suitable to take for relief of the physical symptoms so I can get on with life?
Sorry to sound so to the point but I have rejected the idea of stress being to blame for these problems for so long that im finally starting to think that there is a chance that some sort of anti-stress medication could help me....Ive been to a psychologist to try and attempt some stress dealing mechanisms but found them really no help to the symptoms.
