Does anxiety cause headaches?

Hey guys these couple days I been having light headaches but I wanted to know if anxiety causes that?

Hi Matt, anxiety can cause tension headaches I'm afraid. You can take a couple of paracetamol or similar. Of course only a doctor can truly diagnose the cause of headaches so if they do persist and your worried go get checked out.

Anxiety causes a variety of sensations in the body. It's hard to say if that is what is causing your headaches because headaches can be caused by so many different things. But, yes, amxiety surely can. My body has had a million crazy things happen due to anxiety.

Well they did a normal brain scan a month ago and they didn't find anything.

That's good. But headaches are very common in people like us who stress a lot or worry, it can also be as simple as needing to drink more water or eat less junk food. There are a lot of causes of headaches. I get headaches quite often and usually can fix them with simple things like a cold washcloth on the back of my neck, or warm water with fresh lemon, or even a small cup of coffee. 😊 Don't worry.

Well hopefully that should put your mind at rest regarding it not being anything serious,
