I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I can't offer any advice on how to best deal with that, but I do hope you feel better soon. As painful as this is...it will pass. And you have nothing to be sorry for! That would mess with anyone

Are you feeling any better today? Sounds like a migraine with typical migraine symptoms and then a panic attack caused by migraine symptoms. I deal with exactly that. And although it’s scary as hell and although it keeps me up all night panicking and pacing it eventually goes away and I settle down.
Thank you for responding. I always feel like such a nuisance when I post here, but the responses truly bring me peace.

Hi! I’m feeling better ! Thank you! I think it was a migraine too. They really are scary, especially while living on constant edge about brain tumors and aneurysms .
Those of us with HA need to realize that a symptom about which we are concerned and the anxiety it produces are a feedback loop. The symptom causes anxiety; the anxiety exacerbates the symptom; we become more anxious as the symptom "gets worse," etc., etc. etc. The only way to break that chain is to have the symptom or symptoms looked at by your doc and to trust his or her judgment.
I might be reading this out of context and maybe I’m just super sensitive, but I feel like I’m being judged by your responses. I come here to vent and seek reassurance or advice from people who, like me, suffer from HA. I know my doctor can give me the answers I’m seeking. But sometimes, I feel better just knowing that I’m not alone. Sometimes, I just like knowing that I’m not crazy. Sometimes, it’s nice to see that there are people who are managing just as much as I am, WITHOUT being told that I should see a doctor. So thanks for the response. Be well

As a fellow sufferer from HA, the last thing I would wish to do is to pass judgment on YOUR battle with HA. The purpose of my post was simply to say that those of us with HA MAY POTENTIALLY misinterpret our symptoms which in turn increases our anxiety. In all my posts, I always end by saying that those of us with HA should always consult a doctor should we be inordinately concerned about a symptom or symptoms. In my opinion, it is important to have the opportunity to get anecdotal information from one another on a forum such as this (which I also find reassuring) AND to have a medical professional to whom we can turn for actual medical diagnosis. Both TOGETHER can offer the insights and reassurance that we HA sufferers need. As in email, text messages, Twitter, etc. the nuances and tone of voice found in face to face communication are not available and I am sorry that my post was misconstrued.
