Nightly headaches really worried

[Jennycard]

Does anyone else get headaches around the same time almost every night? I’m freaking out here! I keep thinking it something serious but doctors don’t seem too concerned. I had a CT scan done but it only looked for bleeding. Not at my actual vessels. I’m hoping these headaches are just stress? I’m so stressed and anxious all the time that something serious is happening in my head. I’m fine during the day. I usually don’t get headaches during the day. But when I’m alone at night I just start freaking out. Mainly if something does happen to me, there’s no one around to call 911. I don’t know what else to do to reassure myself at this point. You guys always make me feel better so here I am once again.

I don't know if this will help or not but I get pain in my R. temple every day around the same time. I don't even need a clock anymore. When it hits I know what time it is. Seems to me if it were something serious it wouldn't pick the same time every day. If it were serious it would hit no matter what the time. I am no doctor but I do know anxiety causes pain too. It isn't unusual to get headaches from anxiety. It can definitely cause it. I hope I have helped some. Everyone on here wants to help. Happy to have you.

When I have high stress or high anxiety I get headaches.. painful ones the same time everyday for a few weeks then it settles down..I call them tension headaches. My boss had a brain tumor and it was other symptoms. She had slurred speach, blurry vision and she was forgetting our names.. her headaches came way later and they were so bad they made her throw up.

You don't have what you fear and you have been checked by a Dr who hears your symptoms and wasn't concerned.. I hope when your anxiety rises are you get nervous about the headache it's just anxiety and stress causing them.

Thank you for the reassurance that they’re just tension headaches. I have all the symptoms of a simple tension headache yet my mind always goes to the worst first. Then before I know it, I’m having a panic attack. You really helped me relax tonight. Thank you.

This definitely did help. Thank you so much. I’m trying to calm down. I’ve taken a sedative (prescribed to me) and the headache has seemed to slow down a bit. Thank you so much for your support. You guys really help me.

Headaches are absolutely part of anxiety. If the doctors did a ct scan and if was clear I would trust them.

Headaches are caused by tension in the shoulders and back, when you’re stressed all day those muscles stay constricted and put pressure on the head muscles. Those get sore and boom, headache. The fact that you are also worried about having headaches is going to make you notice any sensations in your head and that is going to make you more anxious which will cause more tension. It’s a cycle that is happening because you are so worried about it.

Our minds are so powerful that if we imagine a sensation in our body we can make it real. If we imagine that our arm hurts after a few moments it will actually start to hurt. That’s what you have going on here. When it happens again try some mindfulness and progressive muscle relaxation. With a little practice those can make a real difference for you.

OK, so you said that you're really stressed and you already got the reinsurance from the doctor then trust me it's anxiety. Your Headaches are probably caused by muscle tension. But the thing with me was I had these really bad headaches everyday for a couple of days, I panicked, called a ambulance because I thought I was having a stroke or a brain tumor, turns out I was dehydrated, the doctor just told me that I was fine and that all those headaches are being caused by a lack of water. Fun fact: Did you know that 80% of the people who suffer from anxiety disorder are dehydrated? So yeah I hope that helped, I hope that those headaches go away so stop stressing about that and drink plenty of water!

Thank you so much for your reassurance. I’m again having one tonight and needed to read this. I’ve almost called the ambulance a few times myself. Brain issues are so scary. The unknown is what I have a hard time dealing with. And living alone.
