Still convinced it's a brain tumour

Hello,

i've recently been diagnosed with health anxiety and have been put on sertraline which is making me feel less panicky but I am still having wierd symptoms in my head and neck. My glands in the neck are swollen and i have a headache every day and also get strange feelings on the top of my head like burning, shooting pains and tingling. My neck constantly aches and is tender. The doctor has done general blood tests that keep coming back fine but I want more than anything to have a brain scan so I can move on, but the doc doesnt think I need one! I've been feeling like this for around 4 months. Has anyone else been through a similar thing, especially with the wierd head sensations? thanks, Holly

    I know this an old post but I'm very concerned. I have pain/numbness on the top right off my head. Went to optitions and he found a dark spot on the back off my right eye. I have refered to a specialist has anyone had this before and if so what was the outcome? I'm convinced it's bad !
