Hi I slept ok last night.Im anxious but its the tension thats making me more anxious

[milo1]

i get it all the time can you take paracetamol i dont like too but sometimes i have to it is because all your muscles are tight in your neck i read a good article last night it said all of our symptoms are down to tiredness thats how anxiety starts it is because the nervous system has to have rest to send out the right messages it says sleep is the only answer and when we establish a good sleeping pattern our symptoms will subside one by one do you think there may be truth in this were you tired burnt out when your anxiety started x

Hi I have taken some painkillers .I have had a week of high anxiety this week so Im tired with it all I have had a few good nights sleep.I have health anxiety so if I have any sensation or symptom it escalates as I cant stop thinking about it.Its not a stabbing pain just tense around my head over my nose at times also.

Could be sinus. I get tightness and tension round my eyes and across my forehead from blocked sinuses.

I, of course, think it's something much worse as the old heath anxiety kicks in at the first twinge of any pain or discomfort.

HI i start with New era homoeopathically prepared biochemical remedy for migraine/ nervour headache, yes i know its a bit of a mouthful but its worth trying rather than poping pills every time you get that band feeling around your head. mine comes with a really stiff neck and really stresses me out which just makes matters worse. i get these from holland and barrett but you can probably buy them from any herbalist.

I get this all the time especially as I know I have a stressful week ahead of me, I tend to try and catch up on my sleep during the day at weekends if I can. Its all down to anxiety of what is to come mostly subconscious and our inability in our minds to deal with it ,and in my case letting people down because I am not physically able to complete a task due to heart disease. the problem has to be tackled and the symptom will subside.
