eight days of head pain

Hey Outlaw! How are you feeling today? I hope you're better - at least a little! I wanted to let you know that if this was a stroke or blood clot type thing, you would have more than headaches. You would also have nausea, pain or numbness down one side of your body (only one side), clumsiness, severe confusion, slurring of words, vision problems and a fierce piercing pain in your brain. If you're not having any of these, it's most likely not a stroke or blood clot. If you had a tumor, you wouldn't be having headaches. You would be having extreme confusion, memory loss, slurred words and coordination problems. But, no pain. I hate telling people like us symptoms because then we tend to watch for those symptoms and if you're anything like me, your psyche makes those symptoms appear because you think of it too much. HOWEVER - if you think you need to go to a doctor and get it checked out I say do it! Do not be ashamed of needing to go to the doctors even if they find it is nothing. They deal with people having panic / anxiety every single day. I started working for a doctor's office a few months ago (my way of doing extreme exposure work for myself) and you would be surprised how many people come in with either panic disorder or just having a panic attack at the moment causing them to go to the doctors. I think that's why they get so frustrated because so many symptoms are brought on by our psyche. But, that's the way it is. So, go to the doctor if you feel you need to. Whether your aches and pains are real or they are brought on by your psyche, they are valid complaints all the same and you deserve to be treated as such. If you think you need to go to the doctor, then go.

Hi Outlaw, I wanted to tell you about 15 years ago shortly after I got married I got a "hurting burning tingling" in my head it lasted almost a month, I agonized and thought it was a stroke! I went to the hospital and they gave me dermerol! Nothing could convince me that I was going to have a stroke or something worse, finally after another trip to the hospital they did a scan and said "they would be in with the results" I freaked I said "this is it" they are going to tell me I have a tumor or a clot. The Doc came in and he was a SHRINK!! I was mortified, I said no way this is real, he said I convinced myself I had a tumor or stroke and I was doing this to myself, back then I knew nothing about panic disorder or anxiety or anything, it went away a short time later, I am sure its nothing bad Outlaw, After that my panic went a way for a long long time and then came back a few years ago, I wanted to tell you this Outlaw because I went through this and nothing was wrong, and my panic and anxiety went into remission for a long time and yours will too. I understand how you feel I feel the same way. I am praying for your head to stop hurting, I wonder if its sinus pressure, I know people who get week-long headaches from that. Please let me know how you are. GOd bless, Debbie.
