pressure on scalp and head

has anyone had pressure in different spots of head and scalp along with  other anxiety symptoms such as heart palps, hot flashes and shallow breathing.  These head "things" are really driving me crazy .  They seem to last most of the day with varying degrees of pressure.

i suffer from tenderness on the top of the head and on my forhead. the slightest pressure makes me say, oooh, that bloody hurts, Ive never actually seen anyone about it but I believe it to be a symptom of anxiety. I have been suffering from severe anxiety for a few years now, sometimes it will go away for about a month or two and then suddenly reappear for no reason. I get the fast heart rate, sweats, panic attacks, and flip out like a complete mong because of the fear that comes with anxiety. Ive tried many things to help cope but nothing has helped so far. has anyone got any suggestions on how to relieve the tenderness that is felt on top of head.

Thanks so much for the comment you sent. Always makes someone feel better if you're not alone in your symptoms.  I'm fighting it as hard as I can but am getting a little depressed at some times during the day.  I'll have to try a little harder.  Hope yours will  go away soon.  Have a good weekend. .

Hi Roz.    you are not alone.  I get all kinds of strange sensations around my head and scalp area as well as a tight feeling around forehead. Some days are worse than others but I recognize what they are and know they will pass and they always do. Also get the odd heart thing it feels like a strange muscle reaction or like a skipped beat but it always goes away.  Hope this helps
