So this is going to be long but i really need help!!
so about september last year i started getting a headache at the top of my head a little bit to the right side. It was not constent, it was like stabbing pain and it would go away. it would also hurt when i bent over or coughed. i went to the doctors and she said it was a sinus infection and gave me nasal spray which didnt help. So i started being convinced that i have a brain tumour! the thought started to become so obsessive i would think about it it all day everyday until one day i nearly fainted and went to the hospital. he told me its just anxiety did a basic test like tapping on knees eye check and said everything is fine and said i have health anxiety and to try 'relax' . so the obsessive thought kind of went the head aches were not as persistant but were still there in the exact same spot. so until february i felt kind of okay until my mums ex bofriend broke into our house and kept us hostage and tied me to a chair which im not going to get into. Ever since that happened everything has gone down hill! i keep on waking up with numb hands, i get miscle twitches i feel faint and tired every singe day i cant concentrate everything does not feel real to me. i was convined i had multiple sclerosis and i was convinced im going to be paralised soon. the thought was there for about 3 months non stop. when i went to the doctors and he told me that its not ms, i kind of stopped worring about it and the musle twitches stopped. i felt okay for about a month but now i feel the worst i have ever felt!! the headaches are back in the same spot i am convinced i have a brain tumour. i feel faint all the time i have no energy for anything, i get parnaoid and scared over any little simptom. i wake up in the middle of the nigt with huge anxiety and i feel frightened i dont know of what? i wake up with stabbing pain all over my body not being able to breath and i cant even walk to the bathroom because i would faint. i am dizzy and confused of my surroundings. i am suffering so bad i feel like im dying i am only 18 i dont know what to do i just want to be normal but im convinced i have a brain tumour why would my head hurt in the same place for nearly a year? everyone tells me its just anxiety and that i smoke too many cigarretes. what should i do i cry every single night i cant take it anymore i dont want to live like this

you've experienced a trauma which you only touched upon and it is playing itself out by giving you aches and pains all over your body. I would suggest counselling about the hostage incident.

But have you tried to quit smoking. Even for just a week to see how you feel. Which type of pain meds ease your headache pain. Meds that work on nerves or on blood flow. You've been through a lot. It will take time to get better
