Has anyone ever had the feeling that the cerculation was being cut off to their head? This is scaring me. My eyes feeling like they are bulging, my neck feels tight, I have pressure in my temples. HELP! Please tell me its anxiety!

Yes it's anxiety. I get the same thing, Danielle. I was worried it was a brain tumor. I get new fun and exciting anxiety symptoms that catch me off guard and Im like oh my gosh it had to be cancer!!! I feel that way a lot lately. I just wrote a post in chronic disease sufferers called "headaches." Youll be okay. I chew on ginger. Ginger is supposed to be good for headaches.

Hi Danielle, Yes i've been getting those exact symptoms on and off for 30 years. It is only anxiety. Float through the symptoms. Don't let them scare you. You will be alright. I can promise you this. With the help of this program I have learned to quickly distract myself when I feel this way and after a while they subside.

You will be find. Keep working the program and you'll learn to cope with these feelings and you'll get your confidence back again.

Much luck and God Bless!

Donna

I get this too. I had a brain CT scan and it was normal....just another anxiety symptom.

Yes, i have head pressure right now actually. It is in teh side and back of my head, almost feeling like stuffy-headed. I do not have it every day, and it is intermitten, so i am assuming anxiety related.
