Is anxiety headaches really a thing? Pressure behind eyes, forehead,neck and cheekbones. I also feel slightly dizzy and my ears are full of pressure. It is making me super anxious because I have health anxiety and now I'm fearing the worst. Can this being sinus related? Anyone else dealing with something similar? Thank you for listening!

Exactly like me. Today I spent all day suffering from those things you described. Sinus is a culprit. I suffer from sinus/allergic rhinitis everyday mostly and cause all of those symptoms. But with health anxiety I believe it become more worse since it makes you fear more.

I’ve got them too! Everyday for the last 6 weeks. Not all day, but everyday. I’m going to see a chiropractor Friday and started getting a massage every other week. I know the neck muscles and your alignment can play a huge part in headaches! Hoping these help! But I do believe they are anxiety/stress related!

Thanks for responding. I talked to my friend who is a massage therapist and she said I definitely need to see her. Most likely something in my neck or back could be pinched or out of place.

I also get the pressure around my sinus area when the pressure is really bad and my head feels like it may explode. Stress and anxiety make it worse. Hope the massage helps you, if anything else it feels good and is relaxing!

I feel the same! I've had sinus problems for years and Ive had the same pain for a couple of weeks but I've had a hard time going to the doctor because of past issues and anxiety
