Started within the past month or so
* Pressure in head (mostly on left top side.) also feels like it's in my left eye
* Face feels tight and almost numb (?) (left side only) - started in September
* Feel confused and unfocused.. things feel unreal (example: when reading or watching television, I feel like I'm not understanding what I'm reading or what the characters are saying.. it feels like it's in a different language)
* Headaches - I used to never have headaches.. lately I've been having a lot. (mostly on top and top left side.) They sometimes wake me at night and last through the night into the morning.
* When I touch the left side of head or left side of face I can feel it, but I can't.. it's so hard to explain. My brain gets tingly? I guess. Idk..
* Stick/sore neck that never goes away
* Dizzy spells, I think? (Floating. Don't feel "balanced")
* Excessive thirstiness. Feel like I can't get enough water.
* Recurring diarrhea..
Things I'm attributing to anxiety - started within the last year
* Panic attack type things.. Mostly when I'm tired or trying to fall asleep (sometimes wakes me up) my heart will do this flippy thing and it feels like my brain is shutting down.
* Feel like I can't ever get enough air
* Feels like my chest/heart is vibrating - comes and goes
* My heart feels like it skips a beat. It will beat normally - stop - popping feeling - beat normally
* Can't lay on left side - get anxious for some reason
* trembling

Hey there have you been to a doctor yet? have you had any tests done? CAT scan MRI ect???? I HIGHLY reccomene you do ASAP if not.... this could be something serious or could just be something like reoccuring migrains. but you wont know until you get checked out. it is is something more serious the sooner you figure it out the better chance you will have to treat it.
please get back to me on this issue and I can try and help more
thanks

Yes, I've been to the doctor several times. He says it's anxiety. I'm currently taking Prozac for GAD and Xanax as needed for panic attacks. I have an appointment tomorrow with my GP. I'm going to get this settled once and for all. I'm tired of living with dread.

good I reccomend you get a CT or MRI done to help rule out any brain abnormalities. have any of the anti anxuety meds helped?

Yikes. I went to the doctor today and my BP was 180/120. He thinks my head problems are being caused by high blood pressure so he gave me beta blockers. If that doesn't work he said we'll do brain scans.

Well, yesterday my headaches and head pains came back. I was in agony all day. It's still here today and nothing has helped. Something weird happened in the middle of the night last night, I woke to my lower right side lip numb. It eventually went away and hasn't went numb again. Odd.

I would still get a MRI or CT scan to make sure there is nothing abnormal in your brain..... your lip may have went numb if there was something affecting or pressing on your facial nerv. could be enlarged bloodvessesl but impossible to say without doing more tests.... i would get a scan atleast to have some peace of mind or rule out certian things.

I think the blood pressure medication may be working. The headaches have not returned since my last post, but I still do have head pressure and sharp pains in my head. My insurance denied a CT scan and there's no way I can pay for it myself. My doctor wants me to come back in a month or two and reapply. *fingers crossed*

Well that sounds good at least!!!! hopeing for good health and happiness in this new year!!. fingers crossed you will be approved for a CT scan or MRI.
