Headache... Help?

[Trunchbee]

Hello All,
I have a head ache on the right, back side of my head and I feel like I can feel it directly on the back of my head now . My head feels tingly. Idk what’s wrong with me. I’m a mess. I’m so tired of feeling like this. Could this be symptoms of a tumor?

try taking Tylenol or a pain reliever that you can take and see if that helps take the headache and symptoms away! Sadly anxiety can cause headaches, I Attend to get a lot of headaches as well!

Thank you for responding! My eye doctor said the same thing, but I’m not sure if a migraine only messes with your vision sometimes?

well having anxiety it’s so hard to tell what the main cause of your vision stuff could be from. It could be anxiety, migraines, even sometimes headaches, eye strain, etc.

As a migraine sufferer myself, you're describing Migraine Aura. Very common. Causes absolutely no long lasting effects. If you get them frequently, I know there are meds you can take, including some you take regularly to lessen or eliminate them (or lessen their severity).

Hi! Thank you for the information...Can you tell me more about that? I have been off of google for a month now and I can’t put myself through the torture

I agree. don't Google. you'll try to look for specific non-threatening info and see stupid material that will scare you.

My migraines are not severe enough where I have needed to worry about treatment. I do know that typically, over the counter meds do little for the pain, and do nothing at all for the aura. I would suggest that you speak with your doctor, or even a pharmacist to get the name of migraine medications. Of course, you'd need a Rx for any of that so you wouldn't be able to avoid a doctor visit (not sure if you're a HA sufferer who avoids doctors or sees them too much).

For a while, I was at the doctors at least once a week. Eventually, I’ve gotten tired of hearing the same response . I just feel like she doesn’t take my concerns serious. I know they keep calling it anxiety and PTSD, but what if that’s not all it is you know?

The “what ifs” are the bane of our existence as HA sufferers. We simply must try to get over it. The what ifs are things that are 1000 times less likely than the simple answer. You might be thinking about all the stories you see about various diseases, and horrible situations some people are in. That’s because a story that sells or gets clicks is a “man bites dog” story not the other way around. The reality is they are truly rare, and we just can’t allow ourselves to worry about seeing an orange zebra coming around the corner.

I’m trying so hard. I’ve started a support group. Gone to a yoga class, and tried meditation. I just want to feel better

Think about how many patients a doctor sees. It is not very likely they will miss something. Does it happen? Sure. But they know what to look for and if it was something more serious like a brain tumor you would be having other issues that the doctor would notice. Many people with HA feel like their doctor blows them off or jumps to anxiety every time, but the reality is it is up to us to accept that it IS anxiety.
