I relate a lot to your struggles! I have struggled with migraines for years due to tension in my body with anxiety. I went to a neurologist to get them checked out (a good first step to rule out any brain issues!) and used to be on a muscle relaxer for them and get massages every few weeks, which only treated the symptoms of the real problem. Ultimately, getting on the right anxiety medication, going to therapy, and reevaluating my lifestyle to create a daily routine that supports my needs is how I decreased their frequency and severity.

My journey took a long time! But I hope it gives you hope that solutions are out there. My biggest obstacle was my own pride - I didn't want to admit that I had to stop the behaviors I was attached to in order to care for myself. Sleep hygiene, light daily exercise, and eating good healthy meals do wonders for the body, but anxiety had me thinking I didn't want those things. My body seemed to "want" to stay in that heightened anxious state it was used to, but now that I've disrupted the pattern I'm so glad I'm finding a new normal.

thanks for your feedback 👍🏻🤗 I had a CT back in August of 2023 everything was fine, I been back and forth to my doctor had a whole blood work panel done, everything was ok, it was ruled that it was all anxiety so I will take your good advise and run with it. Than you so much 🥰
