Hi Johnnie, once we experience a panic attack whether the first or the fifteenth, it leaves

us in a state of anticipation. Negativity takes over in your mind, enough to produce a

muscular tension headache. Then not sleeping . work mentally draining you with stress

and then we wonder and worry why our head feels weird. All the above are contributing

factors stress and tension. What you need is some good old relaxation for both your

mind and your body. A shower, a bath before going to bed can have a relaxing effect and

allow you to go into a deep REM sleep. Then and only then will your mind heal from the

stresses of your day.

Remember, you are not ill, this is coming from your brain being over stimulated that it

can't relax.The Mind/Body Connection is a powerful one Johnnie. Finding a calming

meditation on YouTube and listening to it before bed along with doing breathing exercises

can be very beneficial and can even take away your headache. Believe it or Not.

I use Meditation and Breathing each and every morning, afternoon and night.

I'm asleep within moments. I have literally changed my way of thinking to a more

positive approach in life. The subconscious mind is gullible while sleeping. it takes

in all positive affirmations it may hear. After a time, it automatically becomes your

internal reset to a more stress free life. Talk with you tomorrow. Don't lose hope. :) xx

I hear you. Maybe time to seek some therapy to smooth over the rough edges right

now. Keep coming on the forum and talk it out with others who may be going through

the same thing right now. Each one of us has a different way in releasing stress and

tension in our lives. Take what you need from that advice and leave behind what

doesn't work for you.

One last thing Johnnie, when stress starts piling up on us, and it will, make a mental

picture as to what you are in control of and what you're not.

Fighting what you can't control either needs acceptance or walking away.

We get no where when we continue to fight our battles. We just go in a cycle of

fear begets fear.

As for your head feeling weird? It's stuck right now in a panic pattern and needs a

release. Breathe, relax those shoulders. Make a call to your therapist if possible. :) xx
