Experiencing Pressure In Head
hello. I am a 19 year old male and I have been feeling sick for a couple days now, head pressure and the feeling that my head is "rushing" along with the feeling that its hard to breathe. This worries me and have not found an answer. Ive been to both a hospital and clinic and they did not know whats wrong. My vital signs were fine but i don't feel right at all. Its hard to sleep at night and I am in constant panic. Please help.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern, however, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest any serious brain disease.
They are most likely due to anxiety/panic disorder.
However, if you are concerned, you may get an MRI scan of brain done, to exclude any internal brain disease.
As of now, you would benefit from taking anti-anxiety medications such as clonazepam tablets.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
