Weird headache

[Stephj526]

This is driving me crazy! I have a headache on my left side, just above and behind my ear. It's like a stabbing pain that comes and goes.

I'm trying to tell myself it's just tension or sinus, but it's freaking me out. I just want to sleep. :(

Do you suffer from a lot of anxiety? I know I get headaches in weird places. Sometimes I even get them in my eye.

[Stephj526]

Sometimes I do. Lately it's been a lot higher than normal for some reason.

I'm sure it's just from the anxiety. Have you tried taking anything for it?

If it helps...
When I was anxious a lot, and even when I didn't think I was, I went through a period where I would get a lot of headaches. These headaches were daily, and I would get them all over the place. I have had shooting and stabbing pains all over my head, in addition to other things. This, and some other things, lead me to get an MRI of my brain. It came back perfectly fine. Conveniently, my headaches are gone! Anxiety can do anything you don't want it to.
