I must have a brain tumour!!
Posted , 4 users are following.
I know some off you already know my story but I'm going to run through it again.
A month and abit ago I went to the opticians and she referred me to A n E and said she could see something and that I am to see a neurologist asap.
When I get to a n e the doctor looks in my eyes and does the neurology examination and says that I don't need to see a neurologist and I don't have a brain tumour.
2 weeks later I'm diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder and they say it's that and not a brain tumour
But I sometimes get headaches I'm not going to lie there not that severe. But I always feel so lost and confused. And recently I have been getting floaters queit alot. And my arms and legs are twitchig alot ans i keep thinking that that could be mini fits/seizures which is a common brain tumour sympton. This confused feeling makes me think I must have a brain tumour.

I am sure this is anxiety it sucks its a nasty scary illness,but its all psychosimatic
Our head is going into overdrive thinking we have an illness.
You seem to be getting very distressed.
I think you should speak to you parents about it as your only 16 and if they think you need any treatment they can take you
Dont google info it just makes anxiety worse

What you have described here sounds like anxiety and panic to me. I have all of your same symptoms and have been having them for many years. We just have to tell ourselves that's it's going to pass. Hang in there. It does get better.

ce and a nuero is not a opthamologist. Im not trying to feed into any fears here because you bever mentioned what the optician said or saw to begin with. But to clear everything up in one quick exam an opthamologist would be the first go to person. You already saw a nuero. If you need a referral just explain the opticians response to your gp and say rather then walk around worrying and because the optician seemed concerned i would like to see an opthamologist as it is their field of study. Do not mention your self diagnosed tumor please, that will deter any doctor from listening you as rational, you want to be sure the health of your eyes are sound. It's that simple. The opthamologist will examine you and they will know if anything further needs to be done. And they will see all your nerves and retina and such clearly and if there is any concern they will know. They have the skillset and testing. So not inducing any fear here just want to make that clear.
