Baths relax you: Yes, anxiety could be causing these symptoms, as could be depression. If this is the case, a hot bath is relaxing and soothing and can calm you down. If your head heaviness is a result of a sinus problem, a hot bath could also help. Your best bet is to visit your PCP to determine exactly what is causing your symptoms,
