Am I Going Insane.

Can I ask for some help, I have been getting tingling feelings up the right side of my scalp, I eventually learnt that was not uncommon. However I have started getting a different sensation when I am anxious or under pressure. It is not that I hear it, however I have the sensation in my head as if metal ball bearings are running down a track, three of them one after the other. it happens very quickly so I am not sure that I have described it accurately. Am I losing it? help

Hun if you have headaches, along with what you described you Need to see a neurologist, you might want to get a referral to one.

From experience I had a headache for 3 mons. Found a false tumor basically pressure built up on my Brain, but causes all sort of symptoms. If that is the case you'll need to get a spinal tap. Yes it sounds horrible, having it done 72 times in over 20 years. On the good side they might be able to put you on meds.

You need to get checked out.

Best wishes, and Happy Thanksgiving

I get this as well, feels like something is creeping on my head

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing these symptoms. It is a good idea to discuss this your GP to put your mind at rest.

You might also find our leaflet on lupus and the brain useful. It includes a section about headaches and you can access or request it on our website at lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Let us know how you get on.
