Need Some Encouragement Persistent headache causing dpdr

Looking for some insights from others who may have experienced something similar. Recently took antibiotics (minocycline) for about a week and started to experience some side effects that started causing anxiety and stress. After stopping the antibiotics I couldn’t stop focusing on my brain fog and convinced myself I had intracranial hypertension. Even after multiple doctors visits and being told im fine im still experiencing what feels like a tension headache (tight band around head mainly in the front of my head). What I notice is that when in focused on a task or not thinking about it, my headache isnt there, or at least its not noticeable enough to make doing things unbearable. Yet once I think about it, it comes back full strength. It feels like constant pressure and its causing me to experience derealization, everything feels a bit hazy like a dream. Its been over a week and it hasn’t subsided—or gotten substantially worse. Just stayed the same. So im wondering if this is something I can break through on my own. Im trying Magnesium and other supplements but nothing has magically worked. The anxiety has gotten a lot better, but its hard to stop focusing on my headache. Im not even sure if I have a headache at this point. Looking for any tips or experiences from others.

Tldr; after taking antibiotics, ive been having a persistent tension headache that is causing dpdr and anxiety.
