Anxiety head pain

Hello,

I used to suffer from migraines as a child and then I kind of grew out of them. I’ve always suffered with headaches though and I’ve managed them quite well.

I’m going through a tough patch with my anxiety at the moment and I’ve been getting strange head pressure. Behind my ears and even in my mouth. My temples get really sore and my eye aches a lot. I get a warm sensation across my head and face or short stabbing pains in my head too. I went to the doctor and they told me it was chronic migraines but I’ve never experienced these kind of pains before?

Do you think it’s stress related?

Thank you!
