morning.
im new here but curious about anybodies other experiences.
I suffer from absolutely debilitating health anxiety and OCD. It has been exceptionally hard the past few months after going through some traumatic events heightening it. I am currently in therapy with a psychotherapist and have just started as of Friday on Escilatopram and have Ativan for extreme panic attacks.
The last almost 2 months I’ve been experiencing horrible tension headaches and temple twitches or spasms if I explain them correctly. With some pain in my temples and forhead randomly on and off. Everyone is saying it is caused by my stress/ anxiety.
I’ve been to my doctor about them, the ER where they said the same and didn’t feel any scans were necessary. I also followed up with my doctor yesterday after them not resolving from my trip to the ER and she said the same thing stick out the meds it’s probably worsening my anxiety and headaches because my body isn’t used to it.
Everyday I’m terrified there is something worse wrong. I have had episodes before of my anxiety being this bad but not for this long. I can’t keep going to my doctor every single day to be told the same thing.
Would you push for a scan/mri or wait out the meds and see if it resolves and just ignore the pains/pressure.
If you got this far, thank you ❤️
