Back head pain
Hello I have the following symptoms from few days- back and side head pain (dull) right side and feeling of some stretch on back of head on same side. Also have jaw discomfort and pain in rib down breast all on right side only. (The rib pain is from an year or so though, it comes and goes and sometimes become more noticeable.)
I have had similar symptoms last year as well and doctor suggested it was anxiety related and gave me anti depressant for a few months.
I am not taking the medicines from March and now I am again feeling pain. Are all these things only anxiety related? Really worried if something serious as it is pain in the head. Please suggest what I can do.
