Im terried its a brain tumour. Ive googled the symptoms and i have the headaches, there when i wake up, get worse when i cough or bend down due to the pressure and although i feel them throughout the head they are worse at the back of my head into my neck. I went to my gp who did some reflex tests and said they are tension headaches. Im not convinced so am going to ring them again tomorrow as they arent going away. Does this sound like a tumour?

      I've been having the same symptoms since last September. Several visits to the doctor, I was told migraine, tension headaches and even anxiety! I then saw a different doctor and she was so lovely and understanding, there and then she sent me for a neck xray. Turns out I have slippage in my neck and severe neck osteoarthritis. I'm seeing someone in June.

      With asking for an xray

      Good luck!!
