Hello and Welcome. I personally cannot relate to brain zaps and headaches so I don't have any answers for you. I just wanted to reach out to you and Welcome you here. I am glad that you have a doctor appointment. I hope they are able to help you.

I get muscle pain with anxiety and the occasional brain zap and I wake with such a start I get a headache. I have been to GP but I find it hard to describe the ache it is not pain it feels like a tightening. They tell me to take pain killers but they do not work as it is not pain so frustrating.

Have you tried PMR (progressive muscle relaxation ) you start at your feet and tighten then relax groups of muscles. I do this when I remember before i go to sleep and it does help a bit. I also go to a chiropractor to treat any tight muscles.

I can’t remember how many symptoms stress can cause. The only thing I know is that if you had as many £s you would be rich. Don’t confuse symptoms with illnesses. Hope you feel stronger soon. Xx

My muscles tighten with tension when my anxiety runs out of control. This happens when i feel emotionally overwhelmed and lost. Please may i recommend acupuncture which balances your energies and really relieves the stress. It works for me every time and although it is not cheap it is worth it, if it works for you. I do hope that you find some relief from your problems, i will keep you in my healing prayers.xx
