Weird head feelings

[Anxietygirl99]

I have been diagnosed with GAD. I’ve always had some anxiety but I think it got really bad after a string of deaths around me. My grandma, a woman who was like a 2nd mom to me, my uncle, my 16 year old niece completely unexpectedly and my mom completely unexpectedly, all within about 2 year timeframe. I tend to not deal with things-bury them and move on/not talk about it. All Of a sudden I started experiencing heart palpitations. Went through tons of testing and got a clean bill of health. Now I’m getting weird sensations in my head. I have sinus issues but I’m convinced I have a brain tumor (though my symptoms don’t fall within typical tumor symptoms). I feel like I’m going crazy. I’m terrified of dying. I don’t know what’s happened to me! But every single day now I get weird head or other body sensations and am preoccupied with dying. Has anyone experienced this and any helpful tips?!?

What are your head and body sensations?

“Fullness”, heavy head. Two primary care docs think it’s a sinus infection. My ears are congested which could be creating weird sensations and I have terribly tight back/shoulder/neck muscles which doesn’t help. Then I dwell on it which makes my anxiety level go up, get panicky, etc.

I have the full ears , it feels like elevation ear popping but they never open. What you can try is holding you nose and breath while trying to open them up .
