So about 2 months ago I had a panic attack at night while with my friends, i didn't think to much of it until it happened the next night. Then I was constantly worried and
had no idea what was happening. 2 Months have gone by and i'm feeling a bit better. The strange thing is that about two weeks ago i took an Ibuprofen and all the feelings i was having
in my chest went away. They have been almost non-existent. Now instead of getting a racing heart when i try and go out, I just get extreme head Pressure. i've had head pressure for a while now, but
it only gets worse when i go out to drive somewhere.it concerned me so I went to the Dr. and he told me it was just from the anxiety. Does anyone else have this happen to them? I've also been taking Zoloft for the past week it helps the head pressure while i'm at home, but not if i go anywhere. Any suggestions or input? I just want my life back.
Totally understand with the fed up bit, I'm 17 and have had anxiety for 3 years now. Certainly getting frustrated at myself but hopefully things are going to get better soon. It will have gone away with the ibuprofen because the whole anxiety thing is inside our heads, once you've taken something you believe will make it go away then effectively it will, and we start to ease up and calm down.

Head pressure is also horrible, it's something you've got to figure out how to control as much as getting rid of it. Some people listen to music or try and do something to distract themselves. However when driving this is probably not the best thing to do haha! In that aspect I'm not sure but certainly try and find things that will take your mind off of it aaa the more you think about it the worse it will get. Maybe visit your GP again and explain how much this is affecting you and see if they can give you anything for it or refer you anywhere, sorry if I'm not much help!

Take care x
