Headaches....one week sober
Hi all!
Does anyone get tension type headaches? My entire head hurts, forehead, top of my head, everywhere! I was getting these headaches even when I was drinking. I was a heavy drinker and would drink every single day! ... I get paranoid thinking I'm getting a sinus infection or something. I do have anxiety as well. Ive had that most my life.

I get these headaches as well, not as bad this time but they are still there. The first time I gave up I had them constantly for about 4 months. I put it down to all the brain signals in the brain no longer being dampened down by alcohol
well done on a week you awesome person

The thing I remember most from detoxing is the awful anxiety. 
I could not sit still or relax. I don't remember getting headaches but would suggest if you're still getting them in another week, see your doctor.
