    I know exactly how you feel as I feel the same, I am worrying myself silly and thinking the worst, it's very scary not knowing what it is or what's causing it, I am scared of going to the neurologist as I am worried what they will tell me. I have also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and the doctors seem to think a lot of my problems are to do with that. I went to the opticians and they had a good look behind the eyes and I have been told that they are the ones that can normally spot tumours because of the pressure on your eyes. The optician told me that she could not see anything and she thinks it could be linked to fibromyalgia but I don't like all these weird feelings I get in my head. I hope you are ok and whatever is wrong with both of us is easily solved. I wish you well and if you need to talk anytime, on this forum then you are more than welcome.

    Don't start to stress out to much, she just want to make sure it can be a range of things from a sinus infection to vertigo, just try and stay calm and wait to see what the mri says. Did she also take a blood sample from you? Worrying will make it worse trust me, I have been there, my doctor had to physically tell me to stop cause I was giving myself anxiety. When are you going for your test? Can you take someone with you

    Hello

    You might want to see an ENT for your symptoms.

    I have had the same symptoms Minus the headache off and on since November of last year. I was told I have issues with my inner ears. This causes bad pressure in my ears, tingling in my head and bad vertigo.

    Hope you feel better. 😃

    Happily, it's statistically improbable that you have a brain tumour (any spelling differences are because I'm a Brit). You also have your age on your side. It's great that you're getting checked out, it's always best to err on the side of caution, I know. I had similar problems, with ongoing head pain for months. It turned out to be simply down to me becoming allergic to my cats! I now use a steroidal sinus spray 2 times a day... and still have my cats, of course 🙋. I'm sure that there are MANY simple reasons for your head pain.

    Good luck x

    I've been dealing with weird headaches for the last month or so, I'm not one to usually get headaches so I got a bit of anxiety and thought the exact worst. I felt like I was going to die because of me having high anxiety making the pain even worse.

    my symptoms are a bit different from yours although similar, I've been having a pressure in the back of my head and it was so bad where I felt extremely dizzy, confusion, tired, it completely drains you. Sometimes the pain would come and go for a few hours but the head pain is very persistent I had the pain for 7 days+ and that got me extremely worried cause I thought something was definitely wrong ( cause I hardly deal with headaches) so I instantly thought brain tumor. But after reading up a bit about tension headaches, headaches caused by stress/anxiety I noticed after reading this very calming article about how powerful anxiety can take over and make the pain 10x worse I then realized these headaches are mostly servere due to worrying to much, I notice when you calm yourself down, or read a calming post or article you start to realize your overthinking

    I felt the same 2 days ago, I'm really scared I went to 2 family doctors and both told me that it's just a teansion headache or cluster headache but I did not believe them, I don't have a peace of mind so I went to an opthamologist he said I have rhintis but still I did not believe him so I decided to undergo a CT scan, I'm scared to get the result I asked my Dad to get it for me and praise God they are right my panic/ anxierty attack causing what I felt
