Question Is this normal??...

Hey,

This is just a really quick post cos I am freaking out over this and am worried this isn't normal and something is wrong with me! (I suffer with severe anxiety anyways)

Basically I have suddenly noticed how much the muscles in my head, like in my scalp/over the skull really move, tense up and contract if I move any facial muscles, for instance I had my hands around the back of my head and my fingers were interwoven, and I raised my eyebrows and they moved loads! And then I notcied another time then when i swallowed they kind of felt like the totally expanded outwards!

And also if I do the same thing with my hands but over the top of my head then the muscles feel like they are really expanding as well!!

So I was really freaking out if this was normal or not, I know there are muscles there but I didnt think they moved THAT much, and so then i start panicking thinking what if my skull bones arent sealed together and the muscles are tenseing and pulling them apart slightly?! What if this damages my head? What if this is the result of so much stress and anxiety that my muscles are so tensed up that I have caused them some damage and thats why I get headaches a lot! This could go on..... Are any of these things possible or am I just totally letting anxiety run away with me?

It's just that I asked a couple of friends if they can feel the same thing and they said no!

Any input would be great!

Thanks!

Laura

I just did this and the muscles in my head move also.I too have anxiety(spend lots of time thinking I have heart probs).I am going to say your anxiety is acting up.Try some breathing exercises or something.I am sure your head is fine!

Oh phew!! It be normal then! Yip my anxiety is well and truly playing up at moment- spent about an hour in the bathroom tonight having a huge anxiety attack, was shaking for ages afterwards, not good!
