Hi All, this will be my first ever post even though I've been suffering with this for years now.
May be a long one so I'll apologise jn advance and thank anyone who can take some time to read and maybe help ease my concerns even if a little.
I have accepted that I have anxiety, but still can't accept some of the symptoms i get is purely down to anxiousness.
In the past I suffered badly with chest pains and had all necessary checks, ECG, stress test, 24hr, echo. Blood tests. All came back normal. Chest pains started to calm a little but were there a little still.
It's recently I am really suffering. Back has come the frequent chest pains, along with some new sensations, which I can only describe as cold pressure moving in my stomach and chest... Even more concerning to me is pains in my head. Was having intermittent sharp shooting pains on top of head, medium intensity. But the last 7 days straight I've had a very heavy pressure feeling on back of head and top (nape) of my neck, which has been accompanied by throbbing on side of head above ears and forehead. Yesterday I've started getting a jabbing pain behind my right eye. Had a check at opticians and eyes are fine and clear.
Sorry to be so detailed but I wondered if people have had similar symptoms and know any tricks or natural foods/meds that can help. Determined never to go on docs medication for it.
I appreciate your time to read this and hope you are all well and are managing your anxiety to maintain a good quality of life.
Thanks
Richard
