Occipital headache right side
I have occipital headache on right side from 2-3 months. Doctor says it is due to anxiety and has thus given me Prothiaden 25mg for a month. But when I take it I feel even more restless and also got sternum pain. Is that expected? As such I do not have any work or family related stress but yes keep thinking about the headache and possible remedies for it which sometimes lead me to overthinking about it as if its not a headache but some serious disease. Could that be my anxiety? Any suggestions for me other than medication?

Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Headache and Anxiety can be related. People can be anxious even if everything is going on well in life. Anxiety tends to increase the sensitivity of the person to pains. So they can have headaches and bodyaches. You seem to have excessive anxiety about health. A change in medication may help. More detailed history including childhood experiences may throw additional light into your problem. Best wishes.
