HI DB, sorry to hear about your friend, thats awful.  Miki, since i'm on the new meds, I have that slow falling back sensation as well, the doctor didnt seem
alarmed when I mentioned it, but its kind of scary.

Hello DB , i agree with Miki about seeing your doctor for peace of mind more than anything . Sorry to hear your sad news as well , that certainly hasnt helped you .

I am very sorry for the loss of your friend.
 
When I hear scary news like that or see people suffering in pain, I imagine it happening to myself.  Before I had anxiety, I thought it was selfish for anyone to think this, but now it's too obsessive to control it.
 
I often have this slowly falling back sensation... I guess it's like a really slow 'dizzy'.  I got a CT scan for it and my brain was normal. But it still hasn't completely gone away and it scares me often.
 
I say, if it doesn't go away in a few more days, you should make an appointment with your doctor, just to check.

I've recently started having quite bad headaches.
 
It seems to be concentrated specifically just above my left temple and is rather painful. 
 
I have previously suffered from migraines and it's not as painful as a migraine, however it is painful to touch, which I've never had before.
 
It's always in the same place and has been going on for 3 days.

Of course I've now daignosed myself with a cerebral  aneurysm, and have managed to convince myself that I'm going to die from it.
I can acknowledge that is irrational when I am thinking about it, but when I am just sitting or walking about and I feel the pain, I get these terrible thoughts.
 
Does anyone else experience this pain? 

I really hope it does just go away.  To be honest, I preferred the panic attacks.  I've now realised I'm not going to die from them.
 
 This is all made worse by the fact that a friend of mine recently died very suddenly from undiagnosed bleeding to the brain.
