I've always been paranoid and a bit of a pessimist. Every time I feel unwell (headache, tummy ache, fever, etc), I always imagine the worst possible scenario. For the past week, I've been experiencing symptoms and I'm not sure if I'm just "imagining" my symptoms because of my paranoia.

It started out a week ago when I had a mild case of migraine. I though that maybe it was just menstrual migraine (I had my period that time), or that it was because I lacked sleep (I usually just get 4-5 hours of sleep on weekdays). It wasn't a severe migraine attack, but more of a prickling, passing ache at the base of my skull or around the temples. I brushed it off and told myself that it would pass once my period stopped or once I got enough sleep. A week has passed though, but I still feel a dull ache in my head every now and then. It lasts for about 2-3 seconds and then disappears. This "ache" appears randomly throughout the day, but happens mostly when I'm trying to "feel" if there's an ache in my head.

Yesterday, I also felt palpitations. I felt like my heartbeat was in my throat. My pulse wasn't racing, but throughout the day yesterday, up until this morning, I would feel my heart beat on my throat. Again, this happened randomly and would last for 2-3 seconds and then disappear. The worst case of this happened this morning as I was getting ready for work. I felt a very strong beat of my heart (like I was very nervous), and then I suddenly felt cold and clammy. This lasted for about 4-5 seconds. Today, the occurrences of the "heartbeat in my throat" have lessened, but I would still feel it every now and then.

And then earlier, I thought I felt a tingling sensation on my face. My face didn't feel numb though, but it felt as though the skin on my face was slightly stretched. After that, I've been extra sensitive about the sensation on my face.

I don't know what to make of these "symptoms". I'm also planning on consulting a doctor but I was also wondering whether these symptoms could also be signs of anxiety,
