Johnnie hope you settled down within the last 20 minutes. You are not going to have a stroke or drop dead at 20. What your feeling with your head is extremely tight tight muscles squeezing down so hard that it makes it feel numb. Tht's all you would have to do is to relax your shoulders and start slowly deep breathing. This would have made your head feel more relaxed and as that happened the scared negative thoughts would have been gone. Let us know how you did when you get home. Have a good time. You are fine.

i still feel i dont know why its making me worried and feel like my breathing is trying to act up on me for somereason and a neevous feeling in my stomach

[Agora1 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Johnnie the worry is just a learned behavior. That is something you have to work on in accepting these symptoms and stopping them in their track so that it doesn't escalate. Once it does then you get that panic and want to run feeling and your adrenaline is off the charts. The nervous feeling/butterflies in your stomach are a part of the adrenaline reaction to your fear. All these things need to be practiced at home so that when you are ready to go out and get that feeling, you will be in better control to accept and ignore.

Johnnie,

Have you settled down a little like Agora1 told you? She really explained how this can happen and that is not a stroke, so don't be so scared. She understands this type of thing much better than many people and she seems to be usually right.

And she Cares.
