    Hiya.. sorry to hear youre going through this. I suffer pretty badly with health anxiety and about 7 years ago i was convinced i had a brain tumour as well. I had headaches when i woke up for like 5 days on the trot, burning sensation, felt like i had a tight band around my head, you name it! Anyway i did the silly thing all of us do and googled my symptoms, bad idea! First thing that ce up was brain tumour! My biggest advice would be not to google anything! No matter what you type in, cancer will always come up because websites HAVE to include it. I made myself so ill thinking i had a life threatening illness to the point where i was crying and became obsessed with checking different websites for symptoms. In the end i had to go to the doctors who told me i was suffering with anxiety due to all the knowledge we gain from the internet. I think you should definitely go see your doctor to put your mind at rest because all the symptoms youre having sound very much like anxiety and you will only make yourself worse. Please try not to think negatively and visit you GP. Good luck

    Hello I like this forum. My wife had the same issues, headaches consantly. She started taking HEMP OIL. Since then she has not had as much pain. I believe its called cbd oil, anyways you can go look it up on youtube. They started using it to help cancer as well.. This is where we got the product.

    ALSO THERE ARE A TON OF VIDEOS ON IT.

    hiya maya....I've had excruciating headaches since I was 17yrs....I'm in my 60's now! they started as migraines for several years, but have now " morphed" into tension headaches!

    when I 1st started getting them, I put off going to the doctors for 2yrs....I KNOW...pretty stupid, but I was too afraid to hear what may have been wrong!

    much to my surprise I was told that headaches are typically the last symtom....one has many other things that happen 1st!

    my point is, although I would recommend seeing a doctor, I'd be willing to bet ANXIETY'S the culprit!

    I'm coming to realize that anxiety causes a MYRIAD of problems!

    too bad doc's don't take it more seriously....please keep me posted!

      The same happened to me Lynda. Always had migraines but they have become more like tension headaches of late. You're right, anxiety causes all sorts of problems and plays havoc with your mind. 😊

    Hi

    I agree with the powerfulmind. It sounds like anxiety but see your doctor otherwise you are always going to worry.😊

    They sound like ice pick headaches to me. They can come on in any part of the head and are related to stress. I know what you describe as I get them at times of stress. Sometimes the needle type pain goes to a headache that is like a wave coming but not enough to have pain killers. They seem to go when you can de stress and not worry. I also thought of cancer but I think tumour in that area causes more symptons than this alone. Its like google sponsors the cancer word so try to not google.
