Don't freak hun! Anxiety just doesn't pop up. It's a creeper. And with a little anxiety, comes the worry, worry, worry. And to top off that, the scary thoughts, the obsessive thinking, the catastrophizing. It's like we give our selves the "creeps", huh?And with us anxiety folk, it usually starts out as a headache, which freaks us out thinking it's a brain tumor, which freaks us out to non stop thinking about. You really do have head pain. Stress will do that. I'd at one time got myself so stirred up that I got these sharp pains that felt like lightening bolts shooting thru my head. I found myself checking my skull for lesions, I don't know. I guess I'd really never checked my skull before because when I realised I had a slight indentation on one side, I just knew it was caving in slowly! ha. I can laugh now because it was something that happened about 25-30 years ago...but I was secretly terrified for years. Today, the dent is still there, so I won't be shaving my head like Brittany Spears anytime soon. And what do ya know, it never caved in!

I still get that from time to time. I worry its a tumor or something but its not, there would be other symptoms that your doc would recognise.

Hope things do not get out of control for you, but i know its hard and anxiety is a demon, one thing you can do is remember that you have had all this before, and you are still here, and nothing really bad happened to you. Take care.

Is it normal to have relapses with anxiety even though you are on meds? I have been doing so well and then this last week I feel like I am slowly going backwards and am so afraid when I was first diagnosed I recall it as my living nightmare. For two weeks straight my heart was racing, could not sleep would wake up ffeling like there was fire going through my back...And I am so afraid to get back to that point. I hate the pressure feeling in my head and am so worried that something is terribly wrong,
