Pressure in my face and head

[Staycalm2017]

Does anyone else feels this feeling of pressure on your face and head?.. It really scares me and I have two kids and find it really hard to focus on my six month old when all I can think about this feeling I'm feeling. Can anybody give me answers advice or going through same symptoms help me out.

I have had it for a month on top of many other symptoms that I have everyday. One thing that help many symptoms including head and face pressure was to reduce coffee from one cup a day to one cup a week. Make a veggie soup and add fair size of ginger to it. Ginger calms you down and takes away rushes and scattered pain. I have resisted medicine so far. Instead I workout for an hour in the morning and I swim in the evening. I got my sleep back, and some other symptoms like chest tightness and pain are getting better. Believe me you are not alone. I would not read about my symptoms, but rather read people's experience with anxiety that gives you a relieve. If you google a simple pain in your body, all you see is serious diseases associated with coming up in the search which makes your anxiety worse. Just keep yourself as busy as possible.

Is your chest pain sometimes just constant ?

[Hasrat11 in reply to Babyexx]

It was constantly for three months. But since I started workout and made changes in my diet, it is not happening that often.

Staycalm2017, having a child is very demanding on a woman both mentally and physically, another life to become responsible for brings new anxieties. Firstly, have a word with your doctor for the reassurance that this is 'only nerves' which I'm sure it is but do get it confirmed for your own peace of mind.

Then you know for sure the feelings of pressure are symptoms of anxiety that you are perpetuating by giving them too much attention, constantly testing for them and stressing and obsessing about them. The feelings of pressure can do you no harm, they cannot damage your body and m7nd in any way and the best course of action is to simply accept the feelings when they come, accept them without fear as they are harmless. And by accepting them and not fighting them, you will stop recharging your over sensitive nervous system with fear allowing your nerves to recover and the symptom of pressure will pass.

So acknowledge the feelings of pressure but don't attach any importance to them, accept them and get on with the pleasures of caring for your children who consider you the most important person in the world.
