A week ago, I started panicking in the middle of the night because I thought I couldn't hear out of my right ear. I shut my eyes very tightly to try to get this thought out of my head. When I opened them a few seconRAB later, I felt a sharp pain on them, and a sudden tension rush starting from the back of my neck.(I did not have any unusual symptoms before this occured) When I felt that happening, I started to panic even more and the tension rushed to the back of my head. My neck became stiff and I felt pressure on my scalp. The pressure did not hurt me at all, but it was just a nagging feeling. It felt as though someone was pulling my hair back, but without any pain, just pressure?
I calmed down after going for a short walk, but the pressure was still there. The next day, the pressure was still there, and it felt worse as I looked down, up, or turned my head to the side. My neck and shoulders would also ache as though I had pulled a muscle? My eyes would also feel strained. The pressure would go away as soon as I lay down. Also, whenever I clench my jaw(I do have TMJ)the pressure would return to my scalp.
I visited the doctor four days ago and got a CT scan. He said everything was normal: my blood pressure was normal, heart rate, brain... Could this pressure on my scalp be caused by anxiety? A sudden migraine/tension headache from stressing out too much? Or was my TMJ triggered even more by the stress? Has anyone ever experienced this?
