Lack of blood flow

[carrieblevins1998]

Anyone else ever feel like they are not getting blood flow to the brain? I feel like I am being strangled and the blood is being cut off. Can anxiety cause this?

Maybe you're just light-headed? Sometimes my head feels wonky sometimes. If you're worried about something like blood flow maybe you can try lying down flat with a pillow propping your feet up a bit. Lay like that for a little while and you might feel better. But with me I feel this way when I'm overly aware of my breathing (thus very subtly hyperventilating). It's all normal and you should be able to feel better soon, dearest! Just take calm breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. And just take it easy tonight. <3

It's not lightheadedness like hyperventilation, it actually feels like my blood flow is being cut off to my brain, like pressure and tunnel vision, it's really scaring me.

I sometimes feel pressure as well. Just try to massage your scalp a bit and lay flat with the pillow? Hopefully it works out! It could also be stress. No lie, stress can do a number on a person.
