Anxiety or Brain Tumor?!
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi,
For the past few weeks I've been worried about having a brain tumor. It started when I had a sinus headache, after the sinus was over I felt a couple bursts or pain (like an ice pick headache) in the left side of my head. Ever since then I've had very mild headaches appear sporadically around that area of the top of my head, some days it didn't occur at all. Howver, recently in the past 4 days I developed a stong feeling of nausea like i'm going to vomit, and this happens all day, along with that sometimes on my scalp on the top of my head I feel a tingling sensation. The nausea is not coming down and I'm just seriously worried I have a brain tumor or something, however some places also say that anxiety could simply be the cause of all this. Anyone else have/had this problem? Is it a tumor or just anxiety?!

I think it's safe to say it's not a brain tumor.
Pain like you describe are not symptoms of a brain tumor. Your symptoms would show up more like the whole body is effected. Muscle weakness, balance, dizziness, difficulty speaking, blurred vision, mental confusion, sleepness, difficulty speaking.( Mayo Clinic ) Not that severe headaches, and your nausea don't really make you miserable and is scary to you. I would think it's a really severe sinus problem. Not only do you have sinuses on both sides of your face, you also have them behind your forehead above your nose. If it was me. I'd first try a neti pot with warm water and salt. Take some regular asprin. Try to relax. Get someone to give you a good neck, shoulder massage. The nausea might be from the sinus drainage down into your stomach. You know your sinuses both empty into your throat, and down to the stomach.
