Obsessing over the fact that I have a brain tumor

Posted , 1 user is following.

A little over a month ago, I had a CT and MRI of my head and neck that came back all clear. I had those tests run because I a hemiplegic migraine, which has the same symptoms of a stroke, so the tests were done to rule out a stroke. Ever since then I've been having an on and off pressure feeling in my left ear, a few headaches that have sometimes been on the left side of my head and sometimes on the right, two bad migraines, my left shoulder is very tense, bad tinnitus in my right ear, slight weakness in my left arm that comes and goes, and a weird pressure feeling behind my left eye that also comes and goes. I am beyond afraid that they either missed something or that I have a cancerous tumor that has grown within the time since I got the MRI since they grow fast. I've noticed that when my anxiety gets bad, these symptoms flare up but I'm still convinced that it's something more serious. I'm 19, in school and trying to pursue my career. I'm terrified. Has anyone else ever felt like this?
