Hello, I am Elias at the age of 17 and I have had this strange sharp head pain on the left side of my head for 7 days now and i want to believe it’s eye strain from staring at a screen for long periods of time but, I fear that I may be mistaken for something so simple. I have bad anxiety that causes me to believe I have a deadly disease so I go and search up things on Google to see if they match up with a brain tumour. The pains will come and go and itch and ache and give out this warm sensation and sometimes numbness that doesn’t last long but I haven’t had continuous throbbing headaches which in most cases leads to brain tumours. The pain will also affect my eyes and the left temple and this will last all day and all I can think about is brain tumour. Someone please tell me if this is serious or just eye strain.

    I would not worry about it too much as it could very well be just eye strain or migraine.  As you have had it for 7 days, I would recommend you see your doctor to get it checked out.  Have you ever suffered a concussion?  This could be a source of your problem. Let us know how you do at the doctors.
