I have the weirdest feelings in my head and so so scared.
I get dizzy and unbalanced feeling and like I am about to faint which can go on for hours.  I also feel like my head is being squeezed and like I have palpitations in my head.  Loads of others symptoms but the head stuff is the worst and I now feel terrified most of the time.

I have been explaining to my doctor for 10 years that I have a feeling in my head like I need to cry but cant, it is actually like the physical feeling you get in your head when you are about to cry but it is there all most days on and off.  sometimes it will progress to a headache wich i actually prefer to the crying feeling.  If i do cry i feel some relief for a short time but then it will come back, it isnt that I cant cry, I can, it is just the best way to describe it.  sometimes it feels like literally I want to take my brain out and clean it and put it back in.  my shrink has said he thinks it is a form of anxiety, there is absolutley nothing wrong in my life, I have no depression, but this feeling has always been my underlying problem.  I never felt it until I started taking ssri's 10 years ago, I am now on an snri and all depression has gone but once again head feeling is still there,  I am almost posotive that when my head is clear and empty of anti depressants it will go away, funy that i never had it before I was on anti depressants.  Has anyone had this or got any ideas, I am going back to my shrink so see what I can do, it doesnt disable me or stop me doing my job or getting on with life, but I hate it being there all the time, I am sure obsessing about it doesnt help but I just want it t go, any advice? sometimes the feeling goes into my throat x

hey everyone, my name is victor and i am 22 yrs old. I avoid going in elevators not because i am afraid of them but because when it moves up or down i feel like my brain wants to explode! ...i also get the same feeling when i am in a car only when its reversing fast. i immediately get a migraine headache and i feel a strong pressure like its sweezing my brain.....and i sometimes scream out for the driver to stop because i really feel like my head is going to bust open and im about to die. Its really embarassing because ppl sometings think i am weird and i just dont knw how to explain this feeling to them. I have not seen any medical personnel about this problem because i simply dont knw how to explain this to them. i sometimes wish that it would just go away, its stressing me out and its bothering me from achieving my academic goals.
