yup its called a tension headache hun and its a normal symptom in anxiety. only problem is its phycological so you cant take pain killers for it. the best way to get rid of it is to have a rest, go to sleep or have a head massage, they are the best!

if you're worried though go see you GP so they can confirm it.

feel free to message me if you wanna chat xxxxxxxxxx

yea ive been to the doc. the said its tension, but they dont want to do a CT scan because they dont suspect anything. and these spasms dont hurt or anything just very annoying.

yup that sums up anxiety....anoying! xx

I get that tight feeling a lot in my neck and shoulders and sometimes I can feel it in my cheeks or my temples. Sometimes too I get a pain in my head like a sharp pain and I have gotten that checked out and it's the same thing just sharp instead of dull... it sucks. The thing that works best for me is when my husband gives me a neck rub... even try a warm water bottle on your shoulders and lean back and relax as much as possible.

Tahnk u guys for replying. THis is my worst anxiety symptom. i get so worried about it.

yer it is just a tention headach . very common in anxiety but also just common lots of people get tension headachs take sum pain med like you would for a normal headach. also u got to remember if it is related to anxiety when your anxiouse you tense up your muscles without even knowing so try tenseing your muscles and the relaxing them and sumtimes it can help

yeah i get them i wouldnt worry

I agree with others. This is the worst symptom. I've been up all night worrying, as I've had this dull "headache" (doesn't really hurt much, it just feels like pressure) on and off for the past few weeks. Like everyone else says, it doesn't really respond much to advil or aleve or whatever. When I wake up, I usually feel pretty good and don't have much or any pain. But as the day wears on, I feel it more (somedays) and it makes me worry about really big stuff :(

The other thing that may be going on is undiagnosed allergies or sinus issues when it comes to the head. Depending on your other meds you could always ask the doc if it would hurt to take 2 of the advil cold and sinus (just make sure it has sudafed in it) . Take that with a hot cup of tea or coffee and lay back w/ a warm pack or satchet over your eyes for awhile to see if it helps.
