Headaches

Hi justin I to suffer everyday for over a month from sharp head pains I also am a very anxious person and a big hyperchondriac so imediatly thought it was a brain tumour, my eye doctor have a real good look and said everything looked healthy. But I was still worried so I booked an emerceny appointment with a medical nurse who reassured me and said she felt it was anxiety and stress as the eye doctor would have reffered me straight away and my blood and bp tests were normal. But still sure I was dying I rushed myself to a and e where another doctor sat me down had had a really long chat with me and once again cheaked my eyes saying everything was fine and it was just alot of stress. I still get carried away with the thought i'm dying and daily get new sytptoms I just have to pinch myself every now and again and tell myself it is all stress and anxiety. I'd like to know how your eye test goes though but believe my if the eye doctor had any doupt he'd send you straight to a doctor for more tests. Best wishes and take care xxx

Just to let you know my name is justina... Lol it is easy to mistake it for justin. I would have been named that but I came out a girl.

Anyway, I think I have a lot of eye strain and the meds that I am taking are contributing as well as anxiety. But I still worry, and I will until I know 100% that I am alright.

Thanks for the reply.
Take care.

Hello, I just think it's crazy how we are all going through pretty much the same thing....I have been suffering from anxiety for about 5 months now and just about three weeks ago started having headaches every single day! I even went to the er one day because I started feeling extremely lightheaded and panicked.....They did a ct scan, everything was fine....I had an mri done and am waiting on the results. I feel like I am going crazy thinking that there is something wrong with me.....But deep down I know that it's all related to my anxiety...Ugh anxiety is an awful awful thing! No medicines work to relieve the headache, but I did notice that when I stop thinking about it (just like all anxiety sensations) they go away for awhile...Try meditating that seems to help me out!

Erin : )

I will definitely try. It is crazy though when I entered the forum and read peoples stories about their anxiety I had to blink twice because it sounded so much like myself.
My headaches have subsided somewhat for the last two days, I have been somewhat relaxed although today is another story so I wll have to try the meditating. Although I have to admit I wouldn't know how to start.

Thanks for the reply.

You asked me to fill you in on my eye exam. Well it turns out that I need glasses. The doc said it most likely has to do with the medications that I am taking. But the muscles in my eyes are slow esp my left eye. When we focus on something close up our eyes are suppose to turn inward but mine only turn in half the way. If that makes sence. My eye muscles get tired and strained and that is causing most of my headaches other than anxiety and other normal triggers.
I get my glasses next week, so hopefully they work. I am suppose to wear them while using the computer, reading and driving because I said when I drive I find I get headaches esp at night.
Anyways... That is how it went.
The glasses look okay too.

I have the same problem with mith my eyes im long sighted and have rare stigmatism in both eyes meaning rather than a sphere shape their shaped like rugby balls. I hope the glasses clear up your headachs and thankyou for getting back to me best wishes and luck.
