Q: i felt like someone touched my head lightly then it started burning (i also have anxiety and sinus issues?

: There was probably no issue here but to feel safe, when you get home take a shower and thoroughly wash the area where you were touched. Then dry it well and that should eliminate any risk

it seems you are very sensitive and this could lead to anxiety. 1st have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. The most complete evaluation for medication is with a Psychiatrist. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help you cope with stress.
