Hi Lojo

Headaches are very common with anxiety , I to suffer as well as migraines & I no it can make you feel even more anxious which of course then adds more anxiety & results in more headaches

As unpleasant as they are , if we can try & accept these headaches are not serious , but anxiety , it helps to take away the fear , & the less we fear them , the less the anxiety , I no its easier said than done , but if you can keep talking on here , you will relate to everyone as well as getting support & that really does help to no you are not on your own

Welcome :)

Love

Thank you I do try to ignore them ,but as you say hard all I take is paracetamol.

I find the stick thing that you rub on your forehead helps better than paracetamol.

They just don't seem to want to go away those sort of headaches.

Just thought try rubbing your temples in circles as wellXxxx

Hi...I suffer with them too and sometimes they really get me down. I try to remember that the headache does always pass. Sometimes sleep is the only respite. Hope you're OK x

Have you looked at aromatherapy. I find that peppermint, lavendar and ylang ylang can all help sometimes with headaches. However, my headaches aren't usually down to stress - changes in air pressure and changes in my hormone levels are more common causes for me.

Sleeping through really bad ones and the migraines is sometimes all I can do

Hope you find some relief soon

Not what you're looking for?
