Anxiety headache relief

Posted , 2 users are following.

i was diagnosed with GAD nearly 10 years ago. ive managed to stop the panic attacks as now i no all my physical symptoms are anxiety. i get physical symptoms for around 6 weeks constantly. its absolutely draining. this last year its been constant. i had 6 weeks of heartburn everyday. then i had a headache constantly for 6 weeks. the headache finally went. its been about 4months and its back again!! i no its anxiety but my brain flips between what if it is serious and mainly i no its anxiety but i cant cope with this for 6 weeks! im not anxious about anything other than my headache. its there from when i wake up until i go to bed. tension headache, pressure or like a band around my head. its moves to different areas. if im busy i dont notice it as much. medicine does absolutely nothing , which is usually a sign for me its anxiety as with a proper headache they will go after i take just two paracetamol. im on day 6 now so looks like im in for another long run. im so use to feeling like this now feeling anxious is just me feeling "normal". im just feeling lonely with it as none of my friends or family get this. does anyone else? any tips? i do find heat pads help. im not sure why 6 weeks seems to be the mark where my anxiety gives up! anyone no a way to end it sooner? does anyone else get constant tension headaches for weeks everyday? feeling sad 😦 (and forever anxious)

    Can i ask how do you know your symptoms are anxiety? Ive struggled 2 years straight everyday with horrible head symptoms, dizziness, pressure, brain zaps, swaying and just weird horrible feelings in my head, no dr can figure it out and it all started from waking up in middle of night with room spinning horribly, you seem to be sure of your symptoms which is good for you but I can say I feel your pain and any advice you could give me I would be grateful and God bless
