    this is something new that i’ve been dealing with, i’ve gone to the er and the doctor told me to not worry because he’s not concerned that it’s anything serious. he told me it’s really rare for someone to just have headaches as a symptom and the times he’s seen someone that actually had a tumor their symptoms were way worse than mine. but still, my anxious brain will not stop worrying until this headache goes away and i get an mri :’)

Only an MRI with constrast could show everything. Trust me if you don’t get an MRI with constrast you will never know what is going on in your head.

    This is exactly me right now. Never really had any worries about the brain tumours, but here I am. Yesterday and today, just worried. The double vision plus headaches messed me up. My three doctors basically told me yesterday that I not only had brain tumour but it was the anxiety. I was like WTF is the anxiety messing with me like this. Another doctor has even refused to pick my calls now, and I just want to thank her for her input😅😂

    It could very well be your allergies, if you have fluid in your sinuses (you are feeling congested), it can cause sinus-related headaches which would be in the area you have them. They also feel like the pain is intensifying if you bend down and get back up again. Especially because you said you had a virus infection before, it could be a sinus headache. Btw sinuses take AGES to clear up after an infection, months! I know because I frequently had sinusitis in the past. Keep strong, you will get through this!

    i have extremely strong headache, for 6 years now, sometimes they were better and I can went to university, sometimes they were so strong that I barely could do anything for months. Sometimes even not able to leave the house. Even the doctors were afraid of my headaches but there is nothing wrong with my brain. It is from anxiety and ocd and I am really surprised by myself how strong they can get even without anything „serious“ going on. It is unbelievable but google will always tell the other options, I feel like headache is sometimes misunderstood. Anything we experience in life can turn at one point into headache, it is the language of body expressing that something is not right. My headaches got so bad that as a result I became ocd, always checking the intensity of my headache. And then also creating other forms of ocd and anxiety. I think for every human being it is hard to accept a strong life changing symptom, which is just there, maybe to help you change something in your life or maybe just as a symptom. Nothing more. But writing this I have to laugh because in the beginning it scared the shit out of me. I went to so many doctors haha even hospital ohhh boyy

I have symptoms like weird sensation in head or like tightness in head when I squint. Usually my forehead area is sore or like a weird feeling. And I would feel nauseous sometimes and everyday I would deal with it, and I wish I could go back in time to when I wandt worried and I was just living life, now I am dealing with this everydya and I am conceived I have brain cancer or brain tumor but I am not even sure.. which worries me.. my mom said it’s mental and that I don’t need to see a doctor but I am not sure.. Has anyone ever had these symptoms before with there anxiety? Head pain, Weird feeling in head, When you squint ur head hurts, Nauseous and other things.. and I am always worried everyday if it’s something serious… What do you guys think? What should i do?

      I’ve been having headaches off and on for two months and now it’s become a daily thing. I feel pressure on my temples and sometimes either in the back or top of my head. I regret going on google because all I keep seeing is “BRAIN TUMOR SYMPTOMS” and now I have become obsessed looking up brain tumor stories. My anxiety was already high before this so now I’m wondering if my anxiety is just causing these headaches to linger on. Yesterday I felt nauseous and nausea was another symptom of a brain tumor but I also had just started my time of the month and I’m nauseous again today😩 I’m just hoping all this is anxiety from being quarantined and stuck at home. I talked to my doctor and she thought my headaches were due to grinding my teeth at night..not sure if that could be the reason or maybe it’s also the pillow or mattress since I have a stiff neck as well lol
