Please someone give their advice?!?

So since the end of July I have been having head issues. The pressure is only my left side and two weeks ago I went to the doctor and he told me he thinks I'm having tension headaches. He prescribed muscle relaxers and physical therapy appointments. I went to 1 PT appt and found out it's a $35 cover fee every time and I can't afford to go or the other sessions. They gave me a sheet of neck exercises to do daily. I was so worried about a brain tumor but my doctor says I don't have any of the signs and it seems like it's gotten a lot better since I've gotten that reassurance from him. It's been two weeks since the appt and the headaches are still there. I've had a couple days where I had no issues and it was such false hope that I was getting better 
I'm trying not to worry bc my husband just thinks I need to let it be bc they are chronic headaches. But im trying not to be scared and worry but my dr said if it doesn't stop to go back n see him. But I already owe a ton in dr bills and idk where to go next? Any advice? Should I pin it down to what my dr said and leave it be even if they don't stop? I'm scared to leave it be if it's serious but I think my symptoms would've gotten worse by now if it was serious. The only symptom I have is head tightness/pressure.

Hey Lori I don't know if you've seen my many post , but I have head sensations all the time mostly everyday with a few good days somewhere during the month , but I get those same symptoms you are experiencing and more so no need to worry I've been to the neurologist and had MRIs and everything came back normal so I just fight through everyday even though it hurts and is scary

I wish at times I could have the MRI bc I get scared. I'm afraid it's bad and I'm not catching early on. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement

I feel at such a loss it's been going on 10 weeks with these headaches. I wanna feel normal again. I knew I should just get a CT scan done and rule anything serious

Hey Lori I know you'd rather hear from someone else but I just wanted to say this , I was thinking like you saying if I just could have a MRI or ct scan I'd be able to relax but even after I had the MRI I was still convinced something was wrong in my head and that they missed something , because its all mental , and another thing I wanted to ask you did you Dr do any neurological test on you

He just checked my reflexes, blood pressure, my eyes n ears and my heart. He told me I had no alarming signs of a possible tumor. I know the more worrying I do the worse it could get with my head but it's hard I just wanna know I'm okay

Yeah I wanted to know because that's also what my primary doctor did alsonamd said the same thing sonwhem.they do that they can tell that's why he didntbsend you for a MRI , I believe your just fine its just anxiety believe me these headaches I get are beyond horrible and scary very very painful at times along with the other sensations of numbness and tingling and throbbing and pulsating so I know its scaring the daylights out of you because it still scars me and I had the MRI

So you think getting the MRI is not even worth it? I just want ny life back. I wanna feel "normal" again. It's been since mid july since this all started for me.

To be honest its really not needs those little test your Dr did on you are to check for tumors , and you were fine , and actually even if you had the MRI , you'd still think the doctors missed something and you'll still think the same things your thinking now , so its a waste ! We are all in the nightmare together unfortunately but its all.anxiety

Lol I knew what you meant , but it's different each time , sometimes its on one side near the back or front or neary temple , sometimes its on the top like throbbing or pulsating , sometimes its behind my eyes or my forehead , and sometimes its in the back of my head
