Had an episode earlier at the office...
Anyone experience headache, during or after an episode of panic attack?
It feels like my head weigh a lot a tons...
Had headaches before but not this heavy..
Headaches and chest pains are not really a good combination during panic attacks...

I had consistent, dull headaches for about two weeks following Christmas Eve. It was incredibly bothersome and made me worry quite a bit but I went to my primary care physician for some reassurance and he told me it was tension from anxiety. If you can control your anxiety better, the headaches should go away. I found that occupying my mind helps a lot. I usually have quite a busy schedule but since I was on break and didn't have much to do I was vulnerable to all of my worries. They got the best of me once again. Anxiety is a tricky disorder. But, I can tell you from experience that reducing anxiety will significantly improve the headaches.

You should also look into massage therapy if possible. Headaches can often be caused by tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Massage therapy helped me quite a bit.
