So scared, weird feeling in head, burning/cold sensations in neck and back of head.

hi guys. My symptoms started about 3 weeks ago on the friday after thanksgiving. I went black friday shopping and carried my 4 week old at the time in a baby carrier for 8 1/2 hours. Later than night I got this weird feeling behind my eyes, and got nausea and really scared. Fast forward to today and I'm terrified to drive now, I feel this weird feeling in my head and in myself in general. I have obsessed over this every day since and I am convinced I am seriously I'll and maybe dying..or have brain cancer or something. I can have a good day but the obsessive sorry is still there. I don't have an appetite, I have weird headaches, nauseas, and obsessive. Im so scared. Ugh baby girl will be 7 weeks tomorrow.

Go to doc asap they will assess you and hopefully be able to tell you what is going on ...try not to worry ( silly but true). Could be a simple virus. There is lots of things it could be and we always imagine the worse. And more than not we are proved it is something simple .

But baby be picking up on your anxiety and will stress then make you feel worse .

Good luck

Welcome.

I'm sorry you're feeling like this . Have you been to see the dr? Physical symptoms should be checked out. You could have pulled a muscle carrying baby or similar. However , post natal depression or anxiety can also trigger these type of strange physical symptoms. Indeed my experience started off with the same symptoms as you. It's scary and horrible st the time but you'll recover.

Your dr can refer you for talking therapies and or medication. Exercise can help hugely x

I went to the er the night I posted this bc I just couldn't take the feeling anymore and I was so convinced I had brain cancer or a tumor, but he said everything looked normal. I have an appointment with my obgyn today so hopefully we figure something out.

It's good you've been checked out. It's hard to believe you can ha e these awful symptoms yet it's nothing life threatening. Anxiety can be horrendous. Let us know how you get on at the specialists x
