Weird head sensations feel like stroke???

[ShortandAnxious]

Gosh , I don't even know how i'll even explain this but I guess I'll try my best.

I guess this might help if I say my age. I am 16 years old and I am underweight. I'm probably four maybe five pounds underweight. The reason why I say this is because I fear I am having A. A stroke. Or B. An Anerism. I do not smoke nor drink and I don't have any family members who had a stroke or an anerism.

My symptoms vary from being okay to bring scary as heck. They can be very freaky or suble. And they don't always happen when I'm anxious but they sometimes do. However they make me extremely anxious and unnerved. I try to calm down but it seriously feels like my head will randomly stop working ,out of nowhere it is actually terrifying. it feels like a feather is in my head it's a sorta ticklish sensation. And usually I can't read or focus when I have these symptoms. It feels like I'm in a wind tunnel ....it makes me feel very out of control.

This is the best way i can describe it. Thank you for your time. Hope I can get some answers thank you~ ❥❥

You need to be seen by a professional ASAP!. Please please do this as soon as you can. Altho anxiety gives symptoms ranging from panic attacks to disturbing thoughts and fearing for our health, in this case I would prefer it if you could be seen. I have had some of the things you mentioned here and mine was anxiety but everyones different. A pro will weigh you and that part can be also eliminated. If anything you will have comfort in the news that it isnt anything to do with clots etc. They can then start looking at what to do with how you are feeling. Yes?. If you have parents or someone you trust to talk to...also do that. I'm not saying you have anything you mentioned but it's very real to you and please do it before it escalates. I'm 46 soon and it's frightening at my age so I know, with having a 16 year old daughter myself....its very very real and frightening for you. I'm always around should you need a chat and pls, if you can, let us know how you get on. J

The problems is we don't have insurance right now. Because my father got a new job. I have told my parents about it, but they don't know what to do. Hard stuff...

Lets talk about a stroke for a second because I believe it is VERY RARE for a 16 year old to have a stroke especially one that is underweight...

lets go over FAST

F: is your face drooping?

The way to tell is look in a mirror and Smile it will be sagging VERY NOTICEABLE so dont over think this part your face would also be very numb to the point if someone poked you you wouldnt feel it

A: are your arms weak or numb?

You can do yet another test such as raising both arms with your eyes open as if you were a zombie (hope thats a good image of how you need to raise them.. dont raise them like your trying to ask a question in school it should be chest level but extended) do this also with your eyes closed if you can raise both arms either way lets see thr next step

S: slurred speech so is it hard for people to understand you when you talk? Do you trip over your words in every sentence as if you were drunk? Im talking DRASTICLY like you cant make one word out in any sentence the test for thid is sayign a speech out loud such as “The sky is blue” if you can say that out loud crystal clear then you dont have slurred speech

T: Time to call 9-1-1 this is if YOU HAVE ALL THESE SYMTPOMS and they are the most COMMON symptoms of a stroke

You will also be unable to walk properly as your body is affected big time and youll be falling practically each time you wAlk

Now as far as an Brain aneurysm goes the chances of anyone having one is VERY Slim now I had a buddy when I was 13 who passed away due to an aneurysm my mother told me his mother said its the most excruciating pain youll ever experiences its so painful its worse than migraines and you become IMOBILE

As far as insurance goes to get checked out hospitals HAVE TO SEE YOU no matter what! And they will discuss billing methods during your stay of visit in an ER its also cheaper to goto an URGENT CARE unit

Dont hold back on your health because you have no insurance hospitals and urgent care units WORK With YOU

I hope i lightened your fear

I have he same two fears as you my friend im now 23 and if i told you how many times I feel sharp pain or tingling sensations in my head on a daily basis and if i freaked out over every single one my ass would be covered in debt and i HAVE INSURANCE what im trying to say is lets get out enjoy our life what ever is gonna happen WILL HAPPEN because we cannot control it but to ease our minds its best to get checked out call an ambulance if you want guess what EMTs will tell you if your having a stroke by using the FAST method obviously they cant see your brain but im VERY SURE your okay GO get checked for your Sanity baack though
