I felt a pop in my head and looked it up and see that it says it could be an aneurysm, it felt like a blood vessel popping. I was stressed and was crying and it happened. Thank God I don’t have any other symptoms and no headache but I’m so scared now. Anyone else have things like this? Maybe it was due to me stressing
I worried after my car accident if I was dying, thinking the doctors missed something, that I had panic attacks, or that my heart wasn’t okay. It took 2 weeks to heal with occasional uncomfortableness. One thing my therapist said that helped me is “you’re not dying, it’s just your anxiety telling you that you are.” Hope this helps a little!
@HopeM365 Thank you, yes I will think that cause like if I had one for real by now I would have some symptoms but thankfully none
I’ve freaked out on stuff like that before. I’d be googling stuff and making myself sick and scared and sad. And after a few days of dwelling in it all I’d feel fine. I now realize, I was wasting a lot of time and making myself ill over those things. When I get a “sign/symptom” I usually just let it pass and see how things go in a few days, and always it ends up nothing. I’ve taken notes of these occurrences and held on to them in case down the road I need it for reference and to consult with a doctor, but then the notes get tossed. We really overthink every biological and physiological occurrence and the fact is “We are highly evolved beings who’s brains cells top out at 30 billion and can organize with each other via neurons and come to many, many conclusions about any and everything.” We think TOO much. I know that’s why we are all here on this forum. But just knowing that about ourselves hopefully can make us more sympathetic to our fears. We are constantly feeling and sensing bodily functions and taking in stimuli from outside sources. It’s a lot, yes. Give yourself a break from worrying. ♥️
Sometimes i feel like a shock to the brain maybe it's the meds
@Hopeful29 Are you taking antidepressants? It could be brain zaps. I had them as well
@Audrey/33 Yeah i take antidepressants must be that
@Hopeful29 Yeah that is a common side effect but it happens to me all the one when I get off them
I wouldn’t worry. Google and the internet can give wrong and extreme information which can trigger ocd or make it worse. Challenge the thought in your head even if it’s scary. Once you wait it out, you’ll see that you are just fine and do not have an aneurysm. But avoid searching it up, even if i say i have a bad headache in google it will say i have a brain tumor, which isn’t true.
I have this thing called exploding head syndrome. It sounds really scary, but it's just where I hear a really loud pop sound when I'm trying to sleep, like someone popping a balloon. It could also be like other's have said and you are just having a case of the brain zaps. I had them really bad after discontinuing my medication for some time, but I've recovered from it. Ah OCD..such a conundrum. Just our brains going into overdrive to protect us, but doing it too much. You'll be okay, we're all here with you!
I have a constant fear of a sudden heart attack, so I know exactly how you feel.
Sorry I haven’t been able to respond back to all but no other symptoms yet so far days later but still feeling shaky and panicky
@Audrey/33 Hang in there. Another day another way forward. It’s all good♥️
Hey guys, I’m kinda freakin out. I keep feeling like I have a brain tumor. I read the symptoms, I asked my parents, my roommates and their girlfriends, I don’t know why I feel so weird. Does anybody have tips?
Anybody get ocd about their health ? Like I'm scared I'm going to have a brain aneurysm or something. I'm terrified and have convinced myself something is wrong .
I just can’t help it. And you would think I’d be able to stop considering how much worse it makes me feel. I have Pains that come and go in my head. They are not stabbing that are just there. Sometimes they last all days sometimes they last 1 second and come and go throughout the day. The last few days oven been scared of brain tumors. So i looked it up again. And it says less than 1% of population develop cancerous tumors. However then i got reading about aneurysms. And it says that most people die within the first 25 minutes after a ruptured aneurysm. What the heck?!! What if i secretly have one? It says that aneurysm headaches are stabbing worst pain you could ever feel which my headaches are not. But what if i secretly have an aneurysm. It says they are caused by High blood pressure. Which i tend to have every time i go to Doctors ( i thought it was nerves, anxiety, being obese). What if i just wake up i. The middle of a night with a headache that brings me to my knees and it’s a ruptured aneurysm?? I’m more scared about this than a brain tumor. What am i doing to myself? Please help 😭😭😭
