I get the pressure on the sides of my head and forehead. I am prone to migraines so this scares me. I even get discomfort and pain in my neck when it happens too. You're not the only ones!
I too get like a strange feeling in my head and it is mostly on the left side and right above my forehead during a panic attack. I also have like a tingling there and it tingles more when I touch it. Once the panic attack is gone, it goes away. It drives me nuts because I also get it in my hand or funny bone of my arm. I have been through a battery of tests and they say it is just anxiety.
Hi kitty,
Everyone may be a little different when it comes to physical symptoms of anxiety. You may want to check with your doctor to be on the safe side.
Please keep working through the program. You'll learn what triggers some of your panic attacks and what skills such as deep breathing can be helpful to you in stopping your attacks before they start.

Well I don't get pressure on top of my head but I do get a lot more headaches when anxious. I also get a feeling of pressure in my head like it is putting pressure behind my eyes. Just thought I would let you know since I figure those are both symptoms that fall ether under head or pressure or both :) anyway, I consider it to be a weird symptom of my anxiety and I find challenging my thoughts about it really helps bring the anxiety down.
Now, if this freaks you out to much though you can always go see your doctor and have it checked out. Once you know that it's nothing serious it will make you challenging your thoughts about it that much easier.
Anyway sorry I could not be more helpful.
