Headaches and neck pain

Question

I’m not really familiar with anxiety and depression. For the last 4 years I have had a weird pressure on my right temple and it would kind of flare up with what I now guess was unrecognized minor anxiety.

Moving forward a little bit..

In December of 2023 my wife and I found out we were having our first child, my dad had a stroke and on NYE my wife and I avoided a head on driver which lead to a fiery crash that killed a young mother of three behind us…

The first week of 2024 after those three events I had what felt like a mental break down. For the first time in my life I felt like I had anxiety and had major depression episodes…. I have climbed largely out of it, except the last 20%.

I still get the head pressure and every now and then it feels like the muscles in my neck are tightening a nurse that runs up to my right eye/temple fires off ..

I’ve had MRI’s and blood tests…. Brain around temple area look normal. Blood test look normal.

All of this to ask is this just a part of anxiety?

-I’ve always cramped super easy so I just ordered potassium to try and help the muscles relax.
