This is so normal in anxiety. I have been crying alot also. It's not going to happen but you can't help but think that you are going to die during a panic attack. Just know that the head pressure thing is something that I always have with my anxiety. Hope that helps some.

yes...I definitely get the head pressure and the headache. I find the crying to be sort of a release, so I allow it. Sometimes I wish I could cry and can't! You mentioned a key in your post...."gets worse the more I think about it....." It really is all about the thinking, isn't it? I feel like if I can produce panic with my thoughts, why can't I think it away??? I am working on it! :)

So glad you posted this. If you're dying, I'm dying too! I had a couple dizzy spells yesterday due to dietary changes that were pretty extreme. Today I have the pressure in my head. I'm guessing it's an atypical migraine as I have migraines all the time.

Thanks to others who said this is just an anxiety thing. After I have a dizzy spell I'm more aware of it and feeling like - Oh my gosh, am I having another dizzy spell.

And, of course, I immediately attribute it to the worst possible medical condition until I can talk myself down realizing dizzy spells are about as common as headaches and stomach aches in the general population. Just part of being human I guess. Wish anxiety wasn't.
