To start, like 1 or 2 weeks ago I had some
sort of throat infection, I went to the
docs and he told me to take some
Antibiotics, they worked pretty good. Now
my throat is not a problem, but shortly
after I started getting some sort of
pressure on my head, on one side too. At
first I'd experience these pulsating pains
on the left side of my head every now an
then which worried me alot, even stopped
me from going to college, I was worried
that much, cried a bit too etc...
The pain has now eased off, but I still
feel the slight pressure on my head, it's
like when someone is pressing their finger
on top of your head. I again went to the
doctors last Wednesday to tell them about
this, she said that it's probably a viral
infection and said it will go with time.
The next day I looked on the net to see if
I could get some sort of answers to what I
have, because I worry alot and I was
wondering if the docs could've been wrong.
I saw all sorts of stuff that could've
been wrong with me, and it scared me ALOT,
a few mins later I had a panic attack, I
had shortness of breath, shaking alot, I
felt like I was going to pass out. I went
straight to the hospital, and they checked
my heart rate, which was racing! They
didn't know what caused it... I told them
I have this pressure on my head, and also
the bad throat I had. They also said it
could be a viral infection. They sent me
home, and the next day I went to the docs
again, my heart rate did slow down a
little but it was still pretty fast, not
normal. Anyway the doc said I have
anxiety, which makes sense to me in a way
because I do worry alot (like i've said
before), even at small little things.
Now I feel a bit better, but I suddenly
woke up last night with a feeling of I was
about to have another attack, which made
me have that pressure on my head again,
like a finger pressing. I'm going to the
docs on Thursday, but does anyone here
know that Anxiety is causing all of this?
Any advice would be very much appreciated,
thank you.
