hiya,
Oh im the same! ive tried not to look at news articles as that sets me off...if i see anything about illness/death i freak out and my anxiety takes over. do you get palpitations alot? i ask cos i get them alot...they send me into a panic every time. i had a mini panic attack earlier cos i was spraying a cleaning spray and i felt id breathed too much in and started to burn up, heart started racing etc...had to stand outside for a while till i calmed down. its such daft things that send me off. what triggered the brain tumor worry? ive often thought i have one...whenever i get an headache it always pops into my mind and i find myself looking up symptoms. its a vicious circle. x

hi kayleigh,
ive been exactly the same recently! ive been having pains in my head also small head aces that dont really feel like head aces, my left side of my head has more pains and i tend to get alot of brain fogg! ive been driving myself crazy! my left arm also felt pretty numb the other day too! but this is all meant to be anxiety!? i was researching my symptoms which is the worse thing to do! so ive tried to stop doing that and its really helped.
