OK...I definitely have major depression and anxiety. I am going through a divorce..lost my job....have no family here where I live..basically my life is in more turmoil right now thatn ever before...I feel sometimews that I just can't take anymore. Anyway..the last week I have had facial pain...a dull ache and my head feels really really foggy....I've really become a bundle of nerves. Because of my current situation (divorce,job,etc.) I am very forgetful and I feel spacey all the time. If I'm out with friends and having a great time, I seem to feel just fine. Is it all related to anxiety? Of course because of my hypochondria (I've had that since I was a child), I'm convinced I have a brain tumor. I guess I know that it's not, but all this stress is freaking me ouot. Do I have allergies? TMJ? I'm SO SO afraid to go to the doc because I totally freak out if I have to have any tests, etc. I don't think I coulf handle it if I had to have an MRI or something right now. OMG, listen to me ..I'm just rambling..I'm sorry. I just am so alone here and I haven't had much sleep (another reason I'm freaking out)..my panic attacks are getting more frequesnt...I just don't know where else to turn..I just need reassurance that I"m not dying.

Please help. Thank you

I have terrible allergies and sinus problems.
When it gets really bad, or it's hot and humid outside, I have so much pain and pressure in my head, ears and right under my eye sockets, it feels like my head is going to blow off.
When I first started having panic attacks I was sure the pain and the pressure was a brain tumor, so you're not alone in feeling that way.
Allergies can come out of nowhere, believe me it's happened to me.
Have you had sinus or allergy problems in the past?

to jerseygirl, try to find a doc who you trust and feel safe with, perhaps ask around for a doc who is good with anxious and stressed patients
