anyone just have anxiety in the head

Guys, is there anyone who just suffers anxiety in their head, what i mean is what ive been reading on this site is a lot of people who suffer, chest pain, tightness, loss of breath, tingling in arms, but for me a never had a panic attack, i just got nervous and excited about something one day over a year ago and felt like i was going to pass out and lightheaded, i dont have those other symptoms, when i get nervous or anxious about something i only feel it in my head, a little lightheaded and a feeling of out of touch for a moment, CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THOSE ARE THE ONLY SYMPTONS THAT THEY ARE FEELING, WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK.

Thanks
crumy

You see, mines is different. I've got anxiety, but I don't think about anything or do anything which brings it on. It's automatic if you know what I mean, just like a panic attack. Sometimes there is a trigger, sometimes there isn't. The only problem is when you think about it - and then all these questions start going around in your head, and it makes an episode scary or doubtful. I have physical symptoms of anxienty as well, and I've found that if you fool yourself into using something as a placebo - then it eases off the symptoms of anxiety for you. For example, I was told I had athsma, and yet when I used the inhaler.. it wouldn't get better, but it would make me feel a little re-assured or calmer. If you get what I mean.

I have not yet experienced the physical effects of anxiety either. I was just diagnosed and started meds for mine 6 days ago, and am feeling better already. My doc put me on Zoloft. I was pretty tired for three days, but day four I started feeling better, and today I feel wonderful. The only things I was experiencing was mostly the emotional side effects. I was in a mild depression, and slipping in further. I got completely stressed out, and it caused a lot of headaches and migraines. I think I may have had a couple instances like yours, but not many. Have you talked to your doc about starting on a mild medication like Zoloft or Celexa?

I guess I have the same as you. Its really difficult to understand what im feeling. i suppose its a rush in my head and a kind of blanking out to anything else, major loss of perspective and a need to get out of whatever situation im in. I do feel quite sick sometimes tho but this passes really quickly, the head stuff lingers as long as i let it.
