Getting Anxiety / Headaches during the SAME time each day , Why ?

I suffer from Anxiety & Panic Attacks , but my biggest problem is headaches .

The weird thing is , when I do get headaches / head pain / head sensations , its always around the same time , which is 7-8 pm when it starts , then my mind Thinks about the headaches and I guess thinking / spending time concentrating on my headaches makes them stronger and last longer . But they usually start around 7-8 pm and end until I go to bed around Midnight . I wake up fine , most of my day is ok , no Anxiety symptoms or headaches , then I get home around 7-8 from work , gym and they seem to start .

Could someone explain this to me , its very weird to me .

MLJ,

Are you possibly dehydrated? How is your water drinking habit?

Even mild dehydration can bring on a headache!

Try to drink 8 oz. before, during and after your workout, and see if that makes a difference.

S.C.

I get evening headaches too. I spend A LOT of time on my laptop and I have recently discovered that has a lot to do with it. The way your head bends when you are looking at a laptop screen is really hard on your neck and it strains the muscle in the back of the head and all of the ones that spread out around the head. Heads are heavy and it can cause strain and headaches to hold them at a weird angle. I think the fact that it happens when you are on your laptop says a lot.

I've started seeing a occupational therapist to help me strengthen my neck muscles and get rid of my headaches. The exercises she gave me are already helping! They are something like this. http://lifestylephysio.com.au/neck-exercises/

Try doing them once or twice a day. You might find some relief from your headaches! Wishing you the best.

So if it's not water , or work , working out, lap top, it looks like you have put some thought into this... I too get real bad head aches, migraines with aura sometimes if I see the aura I know one is coming and it seems like it hurts all the more!
So I'm going to ask about stress triggers is there anything that bothers you ( I'm not an expert) but if it happens the same time of day all the time ... If you were not at home would you still get the same headache ? Could it be triggered by a cleaning product ( new one ) laundry detergent, or have you had your home inspected for toxic molds or chemicals ? This is just a thought I wanted to throw out there. It also can be a memory ( I know it's crazy sounding) but did something happen just before this started and did it happen around the same time?
That zap feeling comes from nerves. Literally not your nerves the ones that people tend to dance on the other ones under your skin.
