Persistent headache

[Grace360]

Anybody ever have a persistent headache?
I've had this headache for nearly a week now, maybe a week and a half. Mostly feel it when I exert myself, yawn, move around. It's literally in one spot, near the back of my head on the left side. Literally it's an ache. I have intense anxiety about certain things involving the head and this is making me think that something's wrong. The headache seems to be on and off as well. Sometimes I can feel it, sometimes I can't. Sometimes more strong than other times. It also gives me panic attacks sometimes. I actually think it's why my panic attacks have picked up. The only time I've heard of "persistent" headaches, it turned out terribly for people. Dunno. Just doesn't seem normal.
Does this seem familiar to anyone at all? Did it go away?

I'm contemplating going to the doctor about it but I genuinely don't have the money. Used up all my doctor visits for an infected tooth earlier this year and I'd have to pay out of pocket for the rest.

Tbh I've been having headaches more frequently as well, especially after I started taking prozac, I hope it's just a side effect of that, I'm starting to jump to some scary conclusions about it as well

Give the amount of tension we have with anxiety, and the fact that it’s more noticeable when you move about, it is likely a group of tensed and sore muscles on your scalp which is not uncommon. Been there myself. The parasympathetic nervous system is at work here. This system controls involuntary muscles, etc and it is greatly affected by anxiety. This is according to Dr Claire Weekes in her book.
