Been getting them although my CAT scan was normal but I have always been suffering from GAD and PTSD that I have been clinically diagnosed with. Are anyone going through this too? Please let me know it will help me feel better

Hi Peace T, years ago, I use to suffer from daily tension headaches known as muscular

contraction headaches. They were caused by my constant fear and anxiety which made

me jut my head forward. This position caused undo stress on my muscles, nerves and

ligaments. This in turn caused hard solid trigger points in the base of my skull as well

as down the back of my neck and upper shoulders.

These headaches were only interrupted by my migraines several times a month.

I was literally in constant pain until I saw a physical therapist who worked on those

trigger points to relieve not only the pressure on the nerve casing the pain in my head

but also released the trapper lymphatic fluid causing that pressure and full headed

feeling.

I also had 6 months of Acupuncture which worked tremendously but was expensive

out of pocket treatment.

Reiki was helpful but short lived. But I never stopped learning new ways to control

the pain since medication didn't help but rather just made me sleepy.

Something that helped was Meditation using visualization, affirmations, relaxation,

self hypnosis, biofeedback, breathing and hydration.

The Neurologist ordered CT scans, MRI but it was therapy both talking and physical

that helped the most. At home I used Meditation and Breathing. I trained my mind

in having the power to overrule my pain. The less I gave into the pain pattern, the

more it lessened where I could cope. Eventually, the headaches disappeared just as

quickly as they had once come about. Life is Good. Wishing that for you as well :) xx
