So scared that something is wrong with my brain :(

[Mel6755]

I’ve been doing rlly well with the last couple of months slowly swaying away from that I’m not healthy or I’m gonna to die. But these past weeks has rlly triggered so much fear. I strained probably a little too much one day and it felt like apart of my head moved. Ever since that I have getting headaches nausea pains in my legs white flashes of light and like a cold and wet feeling in my head legs and arms. The wetness in my head scares me the most! Now all of these symptoms has happened before wen my anxiety was very high at one point but it seems like this instance has made me more scared cuz it triggered the day after I strained. I went to the ER yesterday and the docs were very convincing that they were just migraines but I’m still nervous as ever. I’m scheduling an mri in the next couple of weeks but I can’t stop worrying and googling that I might have a brain aneurysm. This all has to stop😭

Hi your head and brain are much too strong to have caused any damage by straining. If that was the case then everyone would have a brain tumour or an aneurism. Keep telling yourself this and it might help. By all means go for the MRI if it will put your mind at rest, but what's to stop you convinced they have missed something? x

Hi , I know how you feel . I kept having These little feeling of pinches in my arm sometimes and even in my head I felt little sharp pains , or having migraines and ofcourse I looked it up and got afraid that it might be something wrong with my brain also . I went to the doctors and mentioned it , and they told me I have low iron so that “may” be the cause , but my anxiety won’t let me rest , I said I will also try to schedule an appointment for MRI, just afraid to get told it’s nothing because I don’t want to seem crazy
