I have burning headaches from the side, back, top, back sides. I feel paranoid, I can’t relax, I have panic attacks, I eat alot because I feel worried, I can’t sleep sometimes. I’m afraid to get up from bed, and unable to reassure myself and calm myself. Please help. Also, I can’t think rationally in my head. I’m quick to anger at small things.

Defs want to see medical professionals about this. I had similar symptoms once and it turned out to be all caused by gluten! Very hard to diagnose that one, had to do an elimination diet
The existence of gluten allergies is so very unfair. I hope you’re feeling better now, the symptoms are just horrible
Another vote for seeing a doctor
Sounds like something you should talk to a doctor or therapist about. A little CBT or some antidepressants could be beneficial.

How long has this been going on? As many others have said, this sounds medical. Tbh I’d try to see an MD first, rather than therapy. They might refer you of course. Have you checked your temperature, blood pressure, hydration and all that kind of stuff? Anyway I have no clue and am just mentioning obvious things. If you had a viral illness recently (flu, covid) that can leave lingering symptoms too.
Assuming you’ve seen your PCP and had those headaches checked out
Anxiety is usually very treatable. Look for an LCSW, LPC, or PhD psychologist who specializes in anxiety disorders. It can be good to speak with a therapist first before going straight to an MD psychiatrist, but it’s your call. Meds can be useful to get the worst symptoms under control while you engage in therapy, but meds alone aren’t a good long-term strategy to manage anxiety.

It sounds like it could be a lot of things. You need to see a doctor to figure it out. That said, anxiety is the destroyer of worlds.
I’ve had migraines and anxiety, but not often at the same time. From personal experience, they aren’t usually related. I have had a panic attack that felt exactly like a heart attack though, so I know that anxiety can cause many physical side effects.
I’d recommend getting medical advice even if it’s just for the headaches. There may be anxiety involved, but I don’t think it’s just anxiety.
If it is just anxiety, then you’ll be able to relax more easily knowing that there is nothing physical to worry about.
