Really worried about this...please help!!

My anxiety has been back up for the past month or so which is somewhat surprising since I've started exercising and it's been about 5-6 weeks of treadmill and pilates, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for my worries.

For about two or so weeks I've been noticing that my veins in my temples feel somewhat more prominent, but I can't actually see them, they just feel a little more upraised. I also feel like there is some pressure off and on in the right temple, but I was just seen by neurologist about a week before this started and she said everything was fine. I asked her if she thought I should have another MRI or anything because my migraines had been increasing since starting exercise, but she said no that it was my anxiety and to relax. I'm still having these feelings in my temples and I'm trying to convince myself that it's because I have bad TMJ, but I can't stop worrying about an aneurysm or something awful. I had normal MRI's and MRA's in 2009.

What really scared me though was that this morning I was headed to my Dr and I've only ever been to his office twice before, but I had no problem finding it last time I went. This time I got lost on the way, and then missed my exit to come home completely! To make matters worse, I pulled into my development and turned onto the wrong street and started freaking out because I didn't see my house!! Then I realized that it was the wrong road altogether. I'm only 29 and shouldn't be this out of it. I've been worrying about it all afternoon and now I just feel weird and off which is sort of how I've felt all day I guess, but I feel like my head is moving and I'm not trying to get it to do that.

Has this kind of thing ever happened to anyone or do you think it's seriuos? I'm really nervous that this happened and am convincing myself that there must be something wrong with my brain now. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback because I'm having a hard time calming down :-(

Thanks guys!!

Thanks S.C. - I appreciate your reassurance! You're right, just when we have one symptom under control, another new one (or two!) pop up and put us seemingly back at square one. I was actually going to an appointment at my plastic surgeons office since I'm considering having a procedure done so I'm sure that was somewhat anxiety provoking to me which makes sense that I would have had heightened emotions both to and from. Plus, I have been so stressed out in general lately that I'm feeling really off again. I'm hoping to be able to get some balance and calmness back relatively soon!

Regarding leaving my health up to my Dr, yes, that's a very difficult thing to do, but I know that it's what I have to do. If they aren't worried then why should I be worried? Sometimes I feel so out of control though because I can't see inside my body and when I get a weird feeling or symptom, that's what I want to do...have a test or scan so that it can reassure me that I'm healthy and fine. I know that's something I need to be able to do though on my own...reassure myself. Hopefully I'll get there in the not too distant future!!
