Chronic anxiety taking over my life. Please give opinions :(

About 2 months ago i gave birth to my daughter by c section. A week and a half afterwards i was at a friends house and my vision went really weird i could see the things i was staring at but everything else was blurry. It cleared up within 30 minutes so i went home. Well as i am sitting there i started to panic a little more.. my arm felt tingly, my vision was spotty, i had a head pressure, and then my nose started to tingle as well. I called my OB for the 30th time since my c section to see if my symptoms were normal and she instantly said i needed to call an ambulance if i didnt have a ride to the hospital because i could be having a stroke. My heart instantly sunk.. here i am thinking i was just over reacting. Well i ended up getting a CT scan and then transferred over to another hospital for an MRI.. I stayed there for 2 days. Long story short everything came back normal and they diagnosed me with focal neurological deficit... that if anything else happened to come back. I was supposed to follow up with a doctor which i never did of course so last night i made an appointment. 3 days ago i started to get a slight twitch above my eye.. and now i get it quite a few times in the day sometimes itll last a couple minutes, i still get dizzy and i have a lot of spotty vision when im in low lights, i often get heart palpitations. So of course i have to google everything and now i am completely convinced i have a brain tumor.. its so bad that i feel like im living everyday like its my last.. i look at my infant daughter and cry because i dont want to leave her : ( I am only 21 and i have always had extreme anxiety but now its just so much worse.. could this really be a brain tumor?? is it my anxiety? maybe something from PP?? every time i stress out the worse i feel.. i cant keep living like this i feel so sick to my stomach : ( i have always convinced myself since i was really young that i had medical problems but now i am going over board with it.

im 8 months pp. for the last 2 months I feel like im dying every second of every day. I dont think you have a brain tumor simply because a catscan or mri would have found it. I wish I could say something to help but I am just as hopeless. I do not feel like myself at all.

Hopefully it is just postpartum.. but honestly im the type of person that even if i had 5 MRIs i would still panic they missed something.. ugh i hate feeling this way.
