Afternoon everyone just wondering if anyone else has experienced iratic heart rate palpations and head pressure I cant even put my boots on without feeling my head feeling like it's going to pop bending over to do anything really sets it off .
I'm not sure if this all started after the merderna vaccine but it all started around this time .

I've had sensations of head pressure before. It was like my brain was expanding against the skull. I would feel it on a daily basis. Went to a neurologist and it was caused by anxiety. I had some prescribed headache pills that solved it, while my anxiety reduced. No surprises here, my previous anxiety crisis fatigued my brain.

Palpitations are also common with anxiety.

I get the head pressure on a regular basis. I also have vertigo. Most of it is anxiety and I know I have allergies and sinus problems. Some days are worse than others. Allergies and sinus problems cause anxiety and anxiety causes pressure. I hope you feel better soon. You can always consult your Doctor if it bothers you too much.

Iw, if you don't mind me asking.. what prescription pills helped your anxiety headaches (?)
I get headaches, that feel like a belt tightening uncomfortably around my forehead & eye sockets.. usually in big stores, or driving. I don't really feel any mental worry, etc.. they're more like straight, physical anxiety symptoms/migraines. Haven't found a cure yet, so could use some advice. (thanks)

I had this about two years ago! I was scared to death that I was going to have a stroke or that it might be low blood sugar from diabetes. I finally went to the doctor and they tested my blood, at my request, and it was normal. I passed the standard tests and they were not concerned at all. They said it was almost guaranteed just tension in my neck, head, and back. Possibly from an injury I sustained up to a decade earlier. Once I stopped worrying about it, it has stopped happening almost entirely. It does come back rarely, but never sticks around.

I'm going to avoid saying a pill name because your doctor knows better, but it was specifically targeted to headaches, migraines and vertigo. What happened with them is that my brain re-wired while under the pills influence. When cutting off the pills the sensation was there but very light. With time it passed and the pressure went to normal. It sometimes happen during stress work, but it's temporary and everyone has them.
