Will having anxiety make your head feel funny kinda like a jolt or like you hit funny bone but in head ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, however...: These are commonly called "brain zaps" and can be caused by anxiety, but can also be a side effect of antidepressants and benzodiazepines; you don't mention if you're on any meds but if so that could cause this. In either event treat anxiety with counseling (esp. CBT), meditation,exercise,a quality mutivit. with methylfolate,magnesium, herbs like ashwagandha etc. See https://tinyurl.com/ydh8bcv5
