I have a migraine headache. I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety. Is this a common symptom or could this be a head tumor. This often worries me. The doctor says I need to calm down. What can I take to ease the headache.

Yes, migraines can be caused by anxiety. Here's a list of symptoms - http://www.anxietycentre.com/anxiety-symptoms.shtml Aside from various relaxation and guided meditation techniques you can use to train your brain not to produce thoughts which produce anxiety, there are also natural calmatives such as Chamomile tea which you might try, to assist with reducing symptoms of anxiety. (Chamomile tea is available in health food stores and most grocery stores, as well). Another herb which has been found effective for anxiety is Kava, which you can buy in tincture form at many health food stores. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_anxiety_disorder#Herbal There's also an herbal and amino acid formula that looks like it should be quite effective you might be interested in checking out, called Panicyl - http://www.panicyl.com/Panicyl.html
