My doctor diagnosed me with health anxiety disorder and after 3 meetings he suggested me to treat my anxiety naturally by improving my daily routine, diet etc. He suggested petril md 0.25 mg (sos only). I was experiencing headaches since last week on daily basis and this week also I experienced headaches. I told him about this, the doc suggested nexidom 250 mg (sos only). Is my headache because of anxiety or there can be some other reasons? I don't think too much, and I do not overthink stuff but still, I am getting headaches. What should I do?

Headache can be physical manifestation of anxiety, pain in forehead can be symptom of anxiety so change your irrational way of thinking, find your maladaptive thinking pattern, remove them from positive and rational one, it will help you.

I suspect that your headache is because of anger that has not been expressed. None of the feelings are to be controlled. The way you express them has to be appropriate. Now anger is pure energy and people mistakenly think that they must express anger violently, or aggressively, or they can damage something, or throw a fit, or kill, or hurt, or withdraw, etc. These expressions can be followed, if they are appropriate to the situation. You can instead simply talk about the feeling, write about it and share it with someone who understands; scream and shout in a situation which warrants it and so on. When the expression is most suitable, the repercussions are minimized and the other person tends to understand and is willing to apologize and sort out the matter. Many of us are inclined to worry about the consequences of expressing anger and use fear to suppress the legitimate expression. You can exorcise your anger out of your system by exercising, but it is the energy that is expended not the feeling. Unexpressed feelings will hurt you back by clinging on to a favorite organ and troubling it enough to cause it to malfunction or lead to its total dysfunction. You can also hand over the feeling to God, if you are a spiritual person, and very effectively too. All feelings must be expressed without exception. Unexpressed anger will cause headache. Please explore that angle.
