TL;dr : dizziness, head pressure, headaches, do;dr, brain zaps, brain surges, etc these are all common symptoms of anxiety 




Do you guys have any of these?


-head pressure , in the back , sides, TOP!? Sooo annoying! But also so common apparently 

-micro dizziness? Okay maybe this isn’t a word…. How else can I explain this… let’s see… umm, like your going down hill on a roller coaster (the DROP feeling in your head lasting about a sec, or two) or maybe like you were startled by seeing something frightening. That initial shock, your Brian kind of swirls if you will, but only for a second? All day long randomly… yep I get that 

-headache… tension headaches suck. You feel like you have a band around your head… like a tight band that is squeezing your head. On one side? I’ve had that. On both sides? Had that too. Or how about the base of your head… ugh, Advil and heating pad, along with massage usually does the trick for me. 

-neck tension causing headaches… I guess this can fall under head symptoms but I carry an awful lot of tension in my neck and shoulders.. this gives me headaches often.

-tingling on your scalp!? weird! Weird feeling! For me, it’s on the top of my head on my scalp at random times. 

-flushing of the skin on your face. Face looks red and it can be embarrassing!

-numbness on your face.. tingling on your face. I don’t experience this one… but I’ve heard of a lot people who have. 

-head twitches? Yeah you heard it right… your head CAN twitch as weird as it sounds. 

-blurry vision? Could be dehydration, or could be anxiety. 

-derealization/depersonalization ? This one SUCKS! And I get it often. I feel like I’m in a Dream! Nothing feels real. 

-brain surges? Like one second feeling that’s like a head rush… it feels like you get lightheaded for a second… I’ve had that one too.. 

-brain zap? Believe it or not, even if you aren’t on meds, you CAN get brain zaps! Although their more common with drawling from medication

Anything I can add? Put it in the comments. We can get through these physical symptoms of anxiety TOGETHER
