Yes it can! Ive believed ive had a brain tumor for years but had a clear ct scan. The doctor said my brain is "beautiful"...so it looks like anxiety has been the cause of that ugh.

ugh I know how you feel. Now I'm not worried about a brain tumor but worried about other stuff in my body!

yes!!! all the time hun. i literally cant go a day without thinking i have something wrong with me. since around the age of 7 ive had it. its gotten worse and more frequant since having my son 4 years ago. its not just health anxiety with me its all kinds of emotions and thoughts. its the physical side to anxiety too that really gets me. honestly you aint alone!! i often think i have a brain tumor or breast cancer but i mostly worry about my heart! it controls my life alot. my husband kind of knows how to comfort and calm me down now so that helps and also talking....i always feel alot better when opening up to someone that understands.

yep been there!! its such a horrible thing live with and so hard explaining it to people who have never felt it before. i wish there was a switch we could use to switch it off. honestly im the same! ive gone through every illness you can think of. my anxiety causes all kinds of symptoms and its likely this is what your feeling. your brain will be thinking up the pain cos its constantly on your mind. i can think about chest pain and then ill start having aching in my arm etc. i get so many physical symptoms its unreal! shortness of breath, chest, arm, shoulder pain, numbness, headaches, dizzyness, palpitations and the list goes on. ive had ECG and came back normal, blood tests for various things and again nothing! i recently had to go and have my eyes tested cos i was feeling my eyes blaring (thought i had a brain tumor) but turns out i need glasses!! your mind is a scary thing. just make sure you have people to talk to. talking really does help! maybe look up some things that will maybe help you calm down. internet is a no go!! it will fuel your fear. but trust me i know exactly how you feel!!!
