Is this bc of anxiety?

[artwanna]

So I don’t know if any of you been with this symptom but it feels like some electric shook or idk. It’s weird & it happens under my right ear. If anyone knows something let me know. Btw tomorrow I’ll be going to the doctor.

I get that sometimes I actually thought I was the only one but it feels weird like if a small vessel popped or something but I think it’s just due to our facial movements or something

[artwanna in reply to Lizz1989]

Yeah , I feel more relax knowing that others been through it. But it’s something that when happens it makes me nervous fr I suffer of panic attacks & I hate it when I have these weird symptoms.

I know when I first felt it I had severe anxiety didn’t know how to react since every small pain I feel I panic then I end up going to the doctor but I had several of those shocks but it only last for seconds then it goes away but it’s nothing serious which is a good thing

[artwanna in reply to Lizz1989]

Yeah I feel u , I panic more when I have new symptoms.

[Lizz1989 in reply to artwanna]

Yes me too every new symptom makes me panic cause I don’t know if it’s something that’ll pass or something bad plus anxiety just comes out of nowhere like all of a sudden I’m just sitting down and I start to feel anxious and I panic and can’t control my symptoms

Are you currently on any meds? Some can cause what is commonly referred to as brain zaps, though I haven’t experienced them in that particular area. Buspar did that to me.

[artwanna in reply to Ted-E_Bare]

No, I’m not in meds. What is Buspar?

[Ted-E_Bare in reply to artwanna]

It is supposedly a mild anxiety medication, but I have an adverse reaction to it. What you’re experiencing could be an anxious response to a muscle spasm, or maybe you were tense from being anxious. If it gives you peace of mind, get it checked out.

Thanks

[Ted-E_Bare in reply to artwanna]

You’re welcome. I’ve had those feelings in my head, but not at that particular spot. How did your dr. Visit go? What did they say about it?

It could be a muscle spasm from being all tensed up during a panic attack. It’s not uncommon.

I don’t feel it under my ear, but I do, actually feel it in my head sometimes. I know a lot of people in other groups I’m in, says it’s “brain zaps” and is common and normal. Definitely check with your doctor though.

[artwanna in reply to Kbirdy7]

I think it’s probably “Brain Zaps” too.
