Worried I have a brain tumour

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi I've had a head ache for 5 days which I see isn't long as certain types of head aches can last weeks or months however it's really out of character for me , it a constant throbbing at the back of my head front , sides and sometimes behind my eyes, , I went to the doctor yesterday and she ruled out meningitis or fluid on the brain , she also didn't think it was a migraine or brain tumour but I should come back in 10 days if it hasn't gone away. Now that's what worries me 10 days seems a long time and I'm worried that it could still be a brain Tumor. The throbbing as I'm writing this has settled a lot although it's still there. Should I be worried ???

    This is exactly what I went To the doctors for today! Dull neck ache at the back, temples, eyes cheek bones etc etc. Doesn't help that I have really bad health anxiety. She ruled out everything and said it's my sinisus, and there blocked so she's given me some nose spray to clear it up. It can last up to 3 weeks.

      Hope fully that's what it is for you and it's sortedsmile. My doctor booked me a ct scan to reassure me just waiting for the letter to come through. I'm the same when it comes to anxiety really work myself up. He thinks it's some form of tension head ache. It's really annoying it's eases off throughout the day but always have about an hour o so in the evening where it flares up.
