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 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.
It is now 2 days later and I still have a pretty fast heart rate, feel this pressure on my head, like a finger pressing down still but it sort of comes an goes if I lay down on it, I also have a stiff neck, feels really tight and so does my forehead a little, my left eye waters too. I'm supposed to go to the docs this week, which I will be.
Any advice would be brilliant, thank you. |
