Hi everyone.

A couple of months or so ago, I noticed a weird head sensation that came out of nowhere. The best way I can explain it is like a moving sensation. Recently, it's gotten worse & pressure has been added to the mix. It's mostly on the left to middle side of my head & it's extremely uncomfortable. Sometimes there's pain but most of the time, there's not. However, when there is pain, it's bearable but very uncomfortable. It gets worse at night but it's always there. The moving sensation is somewhat relieved when I place my hand over my head with & without slight pressure.

Sometimes the sensations make me feel nauseous.

I'd also like to add that my throat has been bothering me for months now, off & on. My throat feels constricted & irritated throughout the day & it's most days.

Sometimes my vision is kind of blurry & my eyes get irritated.

My sense of taste is also randomly triggered sometimes out of nowhere, it's an odd thing to really describe.

I've woken up out of my sleep before feeling completely removed from my surroundings, it was as if my brain was turned off 100% while my eyes were opened. In these moments, I'd also shake. This would last for around 15-20 minutes & then I'd go back to sleep.

I also get jolted awake sometimes from pauses in breathing while I'm trying to sleep.

I feel completely out of it, sleepy no matter how much sleep I get & I feel detached from my surroundings all day everyday.

I don't have insurance & can't get it but I am a part of this program that provides free health & dental services for people without insurance. I tried to talk to a doctor about my brain problems but he basically said in so many words that he didn't know what to tell me because my symptoms weren't “by the book." He did claim that he'd call & schedule an appointment for lab work & an x-ray but he never did.

I know that something is very wrong here but no one ( doctors ) will take me seriously. I've been to the ER & to a couple of different doctors over the past year due to different health problems & it was always a bs outcome.

I honestly think I might have a tumor or some kind of brain disease.

My health problems have been stressing me out & I feel like I'm headed down a path of isolation & depression. I don't remember what I felt like before all the health problems. I don't want to be a burden to anyone around me but I feel like I'm headed down a path of deterioration because of all of this. I'm sick of the discomfort, I'm sick of having to push myself everyday because my body is abusing me & I'm sick of being more quiet about it than I really feel like being. I just want to lay in bed & cry.

Sorry for the long post, I don't really know why I'm posting here like this. I guess I just need someone to talk to or maybe I needed to vent & complain, I don't know.

Thank you if you read all of this and/or reply. ?

And are you a Canadian residence just asking cause u said you can’t pay so sound like your American? 1) go see another Doctor 2) tell him or her the same as you did here .3) make him do blood work , cat scan , mri on your head  so we can rule out if there is a tumour or something else going on . We are not doctors but we’re all here with many of the same issues or even just to talk just like you . Don’t ever think your bothering us cause your not . And about depression or axiety I have it so your going through a lot and it should be taken seriously . May I ask how old you are hun ? Femal , male, ? Now u need to do these cause know one wants any one to get worse . Say look I’ve been  through this, this is what’s happening I want say it , I want blood work I want mri , I want a cat scan and throat swab just because u never know . Demand it . Is it expensive to see a doctor we’re about do u live hun. ? But u need to do this . Why is emergency doing nothing ? I don’t get this 😞 Once you do all this let us know how ur doing at least me . Don’t worry you have the right to feel this way since these doctors completely lazy or not doing there job . . Let us know hun plz

      Thank you so much. ?

      Nope, the doctor didn't do his job but it is a free program, so.

      I can't go to another doctor because it would cost too much money. I tried going to someone else before ( another free program for health & stuff ) & they had the nerve to tell me that my long list of health disturbances ( I wrote them down ) were all in my head.

      Yes, I'm a 24 year old American female. I live in Florida.

      I never had my head checked at all before & I feel like I need it really bad. I need to know what's going on with my body but no one seems to care enough to really help me. There is CLEARLY something seriously wrong here but I feel like I'm just going to have to continue to suffer until something happens that sends me to the hospital.

      There is no way out. Something terrible is going to end up happening to me. I just hope that I have enough control during the process to isolate myself so that my family doesn't have to deal with the dramatics of it all.

      My parents know about my problems but there's nothing they can do.

      I do need answers but realistically, I'll probably never get them.
