Really freaking out here

Posted , 2 users are following.

So Ive been having this strange headache for a while now, about 2.5 months. It feels like a tight pressure on my forehead and my upper nose. It has gradually become more frequent and more severe over the months. I went to see GP about it and she said she saw swelling in my eye and nose and thinks its sinusitis but I have no congestion and the antibiotics and nasal spray she gave me has done nothing so far. I am seriously freaking out because I think I know have a brain tumor. The swelling in my eyes and nose, the tight pressure headache, I've also recently been having some muscle spasms/twitches, like my leg or arm will just jolt for a quick second and then be done. Im a 20 yo male, super good health, no past history or family history issues. But I am really freaking out, I just want to go to ER and get a scan so I can know. Please calm me down or reassure me.
