HLP… IS THIS A BRAIN TUMOR?? OR ANXIETY?? HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!! ANYONE FELT THIS WAY BEFORE?
let me start by saying i think i also have anxiety. for the past few months ive been stressing every illness there is out there, and have a major problem with "googling" all of my symptoms.
a while back i had something the doc said it was almost a sinus infection, i felt dizzy, stuff nose, ears hurting and full, popping ears, and so i googled my symptoms and most of them led to cancer of some kind! So i scared myself to death believing i had blood cancer.. well recently (2-3 wks ago) i had a check-up and i did not have blood cancer, did regular blood work they do for checkups, ooking all in my eyes, nose, and mouth, checked urine, and did just a physical, but my doc explained to me that im healthy. a week later now my ears are full again popping, and im dizzy/lightheaded again, so i looked up brain cancer/tumor symptoms, in the last week ive had headaches on the sides/back/and top of my head, but it wasnt followed by nausea, however i did throw up today, and yesterday, HOWEVER i am stressed out to the max! My boyfriend and i have been staying together, and i have grown so close to him, we been together for about 6 months, and had a long/fairly close friendship before we got together. Now he has court today and may get sent away for a long time. i came home ( im only 17 ) yesterday and my father started b*tching as soon as i walked in the door, along with my mothers mouth..! i been stressed about what im going to do at school, i havent been much this year because i had bouts of the flu, stomach virus, sinus infection, now ANXIETY! which is this worst part for me! It runs in my family, on both sides, thats why i sugested that. i worry about every small symptom i have, even if i know what is causing it, i still find myself googling it. but whats always on my mind now if BRAIN CANCER! 
It does not run in my family, no cancer does. below im going to list my symptoms, please give me any thought on what you think!
-headaches, sides,back,top. for 3 days. not severe though. have gone away now.
-TWITCHING ; in my head, sometimes feels like i cant keep my head still, like its uncontrollable, not really noticeable to others, just myself, also on my arms legs and hands and feet too, slight twitching and jerking. jumping.
-ears full, popping
-low sound vibrating/buzz like feeling in my left ear, last about 30 secs.! Only happend once, but looked it up and said it was a symptoms!
-stuffy nose
-dizzyness/lightheaded, sometimes!
-when i get nervous get a hot sensation on head and in face?
-no vision problems, besides sometimes vertigo.. rare for me
-pressure in forehead sometimes.
-and feeling emotional, and sometimes moody, feel almost bipolar!
btw ; i started crying really bad yesterday and vomited, and today after i ate, is this related to stress? i didnt even wanna get because i felt sad.
my main concern : DOES THE TWITCHING SOUND LIKE ANXIETY, I DIDNT THINK ANXIETY COULD DO THIS TO YOU UNTIL I LOOKED IT UP! ?

I think it is highly unlikely that you have any kind of cancer. ALL your symptoms are very common in someone suffering from anxiety disorders, or in someone going through extreme emotional stress with a "natural" cause – such as the conditions you’re under with the risk of your boyfriend going away, the fights with your parents and the instability in your home.
I agree that you should see your doctor and tell him about your fears and your Googling of symptoms. He’ll be able to tell you that your symptoms indicate anxiety and that you have NO REASON to fear a brain tumor. And he’ll get you some help. You might need therepa, medication or most likely both. But remember that you’re by no means crazy. Its a much more common disorder than you’d think, and it can be managed or even cured as long as you SEEK TREATMENT.
Because I have a feeling that when the doctor tells you that you don’t have a tumor you’ll feel relieved for a few hours or maybe even a day, but then you’ll start to second-guess his diagnosis and convince yourself that you do have cancer and that he just missed it. And then when you’ve finally submitted your body to unnecessary CAT-scans and MRI’s and there’s still no sign of cancer, you WILL find something else to be afraid of. From what you said this has already happened before. When you realize that you’re safe from your primary fear, you shift the focus to something else.
Its normal under the circumstances. Believe me, I lived like that for five years (early to late teens)but then I got help and I am now26 years old, happily married and expecting my first child. I am no longer troubled by constant, irrational fears. Get help and you’ll feel better too.
wow seems like you got a lot of stuff going on in your life atm.. I would have to say its stress and anxiety. The reason for the headaches is probably stress related. You can always get your blood pressure looked at see if maybe you have high blood pressure that would also cause headaches as well. As far as tumors go I think your panicking and trying to convince yourself you have this. You need to learn how to calm down and relax…you are fine..btw don’t ever google your symptoms it just makes matters worse, you should only see a DR. if you think something is wrong and see what he/she says. Googling only makes you panick and freak out..if you have already seen your DR and he has done all tests I would have to say your ok. Best of Luck and stay away from googling your symptoms not good you will get all paranoid
Anxiety can cause dizziness, twitching, moodiness, vomiting and a host of other symptoms. The warm feeling is likely from blood rushing to your face because you are anxious. It happens with the rise in adrenaline and other stress hormones. The runny nose, headaches, forehead pressure and ears sounds like congestion, either due to a cold virus or the dry winter air.
Talk to a doc or a therapist about controlling your anxiety. There is no reason to live with this kind of stress.
It does not sound like a brain tumor. I know, I have had one. You have a lot on your mind. It is probably anxiety. Talk to your doc. He can probably prescribe you something. I wish you the best of luck.
