ive had a tension headache that comes and goes everyday for the past 4 months... I worry that it's a brain tumor but I've gone to my doctor twice, the ER once and my psychologist and they all say that it's not a tumor and that it's just anxiety and my depression working together to make me feel this way..it's a really annoying feeling that's mostly on my left temple and in one point on my neck near the base of my head. It scares me and I cry everyday because I'm so scared..

I also attended the local A&E several times and I was told by not one, not two but more than a handful of Drs that I was suffering from depression & health anxiety which was causing tension headache, to the point where I felt a heavy pressure on the top of my head, my scalp was feeling hot to the point were it felt like an iron on top of my head. Believing the Drs was not easy. I then moved on to other illnesses I was convinced I had and it just became a nasty circle I was in,
I was referred to CB therapy and for a while, but it eventually helped me understand why I was feeling like this and that when you have anxiety your body is on a very high state of alert and you feel every sensation as if it was major but it's more than likely a sensation you've had many times before but you had not been suffering anxiety so your mind has never focused on these sensation.
I still have anxiety but learnt to manage & deal with it in a better way. Have you been referred to CBT? do you take any medication?

Here if you need to chat. Sounds exactly what I had and I was told it was tension, anxiety, stress etc. Don't be scared. Get to your doctor and demand something to help take it away. In the meantime, try to relax. That's what I'm trying to do. It's hard, but I suppose we have to try!
