Headache

[anon99]

Ugh my anxiety is acting up horribly lately. I have a headache on both sides of my head in the back and I’m freaking out thinking it’s from high blood pressure and preeclampsia.

anon99, Anxiety certainly isn't helping but I suggest you call your doctor. We want

to keep your safe. xx

I’m so scared. I think I’m going to have my mother bring her blood pressure machine and read it and if it’s high call the doctor. But I’m scared, I don’t like hospitals and I don’t wanna die.

You’re not going to die. Did you take your blood pressure?

[anon99 in reply to DVISION]

I got it checked and it was fine. Still woke up with a headache and got it re checked and it is still fine.

Sorry anon99, I just saw your response now. I'm glad your pressure

was okay. You are pregnant right? Maybe stress headache.

Take care. xx

Ty, Agora. Yes I am pregnant that’s why I was so nervous considering hospitals are making us go in alone. Lol. I’m just going to relax in my dark cool room and hopefully it will ease up.

anon99, I was oh so there for a long time with daily muscular contraction

headaches. The pain is severe and in the same places as you described.

The cool, dark room is the place to go while you just allow your body to

relax. Breathe in deeply and with each exhale, breathe out the stress.

Feel better. xx

Headaches are common in pregnancy. Good you had BP checked. Stress and dehydration can make headaches worse and of course being anxious of what they could mean fuels your already anxious thoughts x
