i have been having headaches, on the left side of my head mainly, like around where your jaw is right above your ear. it feels like a achy throbbing pain. Also my head hurts on top, back, sides, in my neck. Everywhere. Although its not too bad, i worry daily, and i cant get this out of my mind! Its like a slight achy pain, and somtimes is worse then others. I have had some sinus problems, and also some ear infections. However, the first thought was a brain tumor.. and now im worried that thats what it is. I see these people online talking about how they went to the doctor and was diagnosed with depression/andxiety over these symptoms and turned out to be a brain tumor. Which is why i worry so much.

I get dizzyy, like lightheaded feeling. I sometimes feel weak (i think a little bit of it is phsyological though..) I sometimes feel weird, like im not myself too.

I see floaters a lot in the morning, not so much to where i cant see in my vision feild but enough of them, i see shadows that cross my eyes, like see through black small shadows. I sometimes see like "colored lights", like how it looks when you stare at a light for too long then look into a darker spot. Sometimes my vision feels shaky, but i have never blacked out, had real bad blurred vision, no doubled vision, ect. ect. I googled these, and it said there harmless. i should mention that my right eye had always been worse then my left eye

There is no history of any cancers/brain tumors in my family, but anxiety does run in my family. The only reason im second guessing the anxiety thing is because i dont have anxiety/panic attacks. Just feel anxiety symptoms. I have been to the doc for a check up, and also because of my symptoms i was experiancing and they said i am healthy, it was 2 diff doctors. MD’s. And both said i am healthy, checked my reflexes, blood work, strength, and gave me a physical, checked my BP, and everything.

I feel that i am a hypercondriac, but what if im not and these symptoms are real??? Im just scared im going to wait to long and die. For some reason thats what i always think about, is the worst of sintuations. If i have a head ache its a tumor, if i have a stomach ache, its stomach cancer.
I hate feeling this way, ive always been a little bit of a hypercondriac, i guess it was just the way i was raised. But do my symptoms sound like anything i should be running to the ER for? Do they sound like i should see a neurologist? I havnt yet cause my mother doesnt think i need too, and she says i am a hypercondriac. She wont take me to the doc again, cause they keep telling me im healthy, and have nothing to worry about.

After a knee surgery, I began developing strong panic attacks and headaches-I was a clean sheet before the surgery-perfect vitals and very social, the anxiety began to decrease but would reappear with the headache-I would get aroused thinking something was wrong with me (brain tumor, aneuyrism, ext). The problem was that I kept thinking it was mental as the symptoms became more and more physical. I began experiencing more de javus than usual and there were times where if I tried to remember something or pondered over an even or a present fact too much, I would get sudden extreme pains on the right side of my head (front and middle) and an anxiety attack lasting no more than 10 seconds would ensue. At times, a lot of looking back and observational thoughts bring upon the strange feeling-the pressure in my head is constant but if I don’t think about it, and am busy, it usually goes away-although there have been times when it appears without its recollection-what is this??

My husband (he’s 40 and in pretty good shape) has been feeling unwell since the end of August. It started with a non-severe headache that comes and goes, but he generally has it every day at some point and in some area of his head (not always the same). Sometimes it hurts more in his forehead and sometimes at the back of his head, or sometimes on one side. The doctor diagnosed tension headaches, probably because my husband has been under stress lately (financial and work). He tried amitriptyline (prescribed for bedtime use), but that just made him exhausted during the day, so he stopped taking it. He has tried every kind of Tylenol and ibuprofen and sometimes it helps, but not always. He has found that he often gets mild nausea as well. He’s been back to the doctor twice and last time, they sent him for a sinus x-ray (we don’t have the results back yet) and prescribed nasocort. He said last night he got the chills, no fever, and started getting really worked up, so his pulse was racing. He isn’t typically a complainer, but he does get really anxious about anything medical. I think he’s afraid he has a brain tumor, although the doctor doesn’t seem to think so. I am wondering if he’s having anxiety issues and if that could be playing into this. He has been to the e.r with "hart attack symptoms" once and another time he was having an allergic reaction to something and suffered a panic attack, but he has never been treated for any form of anxiety. He stays pretty quiet when he’s upset and I am the only one who sees it. I know anxiety/panic attacks run in his family… his sister has a mild form of it. Our daughter is a very anxious type as well. I have made an appointment to go in with my husband and talk to the doctor later this week. I am wondering if anyone familiar with anxiety/panic attacks can identify with this. He has no other symptoms other than the headache and nausea.

I am an 18 year old male that has been struggling with hypochondria and severe anxiety for most of my life. I have worried about such things as heart attacks and appendicitis, however i can assure you this is a bit different.
For a few years now, I have been suffering from several symptoms, such as depersonalization, severe lack of concentration and minor lack of memory, and vision problems (such as floaters and increased sensitivity to light), I have never had good vision though. I have had extreme nearsightedness all my life. Just recently I have been having regular pressure headaches on the left side of my head, about midway back and seemingly deep. Anyway, I have recently been worrying more and more about the possibility of a brain tumor. I am absolutley not a person to be running to the ER at every little sneeze, but one day last year, my DP got so bad (before I knew what DP really was) that I had to take a trip to said ER. I underwent a CT scan, which came up clear, but my symptoms continued.
On one side of the coin, I know how anxiety can affect the physical body, and after spending months online searching my condition, I’ve discovered many people that have symptoms close to mine.
On the other side of the coin, well, I’m a hypochondriac and I am very concerned about the little details- The fact that tumors can sometimes take a long while to be noticed, that CT scans aren’t always accurate, and the fact that i feel just so abnormal that its hard to think that anxiety could cause such persistant physical symptoms. At times I get so paranoid that I do not talk to anyone, and I am just locked alone in this state of horror.
On a side note, I am almost always exhausted. I find it terribly difficult to get up and go to work, and once I get there I feel that I may fall asleep halfway through my shift. Oddly, sometimes after I have been working for about 5 hours, I feel less tired and more motivated. Bear in mind that I do not always "wake up" after working, it is not an everyday occurance.

So, if anybody out there has any idea at all about what I should think, please don’t hesitate to respond.

Thanks in advance,
Nate.

I have an anxiety disorder, and I was recently sick with a virus. The fever has been gone for a day, but during the virus, I was at home thinking and worrying about having a brain tumor. This is because my muscles in my hands, feet, fingers, toes, and lips were really twitchy, and I felt really offbalance. These things have happened in the past, but only for a day. Well I went to bed last night feeling a bit better and relaxed, and this morning I’m not anxious either (rather I am keeping it under control). Can you still have anxiety symptoms if you aren’t anxious at the moment and haven’t been for a while, or could these symptoms be something else, like a brain tumor? I WILL pick a best answer!!!!! Thanks!!!! Oh, and people if you have an anxiety disorder, advice is welcome too!

I was diagnosed with anxiety about 2 years ago and recently i have been under lots of stress and been feeling weird symptoms. I have done blood work and everything is fine.
I am worrying i might have a brain tumor even though there is no cancer in my family. I have been reading the symptoms are so identical.

Can anyone tell me the differences?

I’ve had DP for almost a year. At first it was very mild..then it began to get worse. Then about 2 months ago, I had a panic attack, really badly. I didn’t know what I was doing, I cut myself, I cried, then finally fell asleep. I woke up and I felt..not like a different person but just not myself.

Long story short, I have no idea who I am anymore. And even though I go through the motions and act like nothing’s wrong, I just feel so disconnected and cut off from everything. It’s the scariest feeling in the world. It’s like everytime I see something it’s almost like it’s the first time I’m seeing it. My family doesn’t feel like mine, my pets don’t feel like mine. My memories don’t feel like mine.

Now I hate going out because my neighborhood feels so foreign to me. I don’t even understand how I know how to go places but I do. It’s like instinct but nothing’s connecting. It’s like every time i turn onto my block it’s almost like I need to ask myself, Is this my block? Is this my house? I know in reality it is but it doesn’t FEEL like this.

Basically I’m trying to figure out whether these are normal symptoms of DP or of depression or of anxiety, which I have all three of. I’ve been going to therapy, so far I’ve only gotten worse which to mean indicates switching therapists but she says it’s anxiety and it comes in all different forms but this has been going on for days. I’ve had no physical symptoms, and I just got a physical, an EKG and a blood test – all came back normal. I asked him to refer me to a neurologist but he said he swore I didn’t have a brain tumor and he’d be able to tell because I’m CONVINCED that’s what I have. I’ve also gained alot of weight this year and I had an emotionally abusive boyfriend but still..this just doesn’t feel right.

Does anybody know what I’m talking about? Does this sound more physical than mental or more mental than physical? I need help or advice, I don’t know how much more I can take honestly. Thanks guys <33

Okay, Well i think I’ve had anxiety attacks before but it’s like these are really painful and actually feels like I’m dying. Okay, So to inform you I’m under 15 [[ Years old]] ^_^ Pretty young. And i guess I’d say I’m a hypochondriac. I had pressure behind my head [[Thought it was a Brain tumor]] so i begged my mom for an MRI and EEG. And NO abnormalities.
So, I’m like woo Thank god.
So yesterday i had a lot of pressure behind my head, Okay i was laying down in the dark, i share rooms with a sister and i wasn’t asleep but laying down eyes closed and all of a sudden my body moved quickly and felt a sense of fear and i panicked because head pressure out of control >_< so these were the symptoms
before the anxiety happened i had my fan on the highest level and for me it was still too hot
hot and cold flashes
needing to go to the bathroom
shortness of breath
fear of dying

I have an anxiety disorder.I believe it is GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) stemming from the initial panic disorder. I am anxious near constantly, but sometimes more than others, especially when I have a full-fledged panic attack. However, my anxiety typically is a result of the physical symptoms I have, worrying that I might have a brain tumor or something. I know that if you are stressed out/anxious, your body is releasing adrenaline, and since I am this way all the time, it is continous. I was wondering what effects excess adrenaline had on the body…? Thanks!!!

I always thought my constant worrying about everything, my fear of catching a major disease, something horrible happening, etc. were all just part of my personality.

Then about a month ago I started not getting much sleep, not eating breakfast or lunch and it pushed me over the edge.

I had heart palpiations, headaches, dizzyness, feeling I was losing control of my mind (like I would wake up as a different person the next day), feeling I was going crazy, intense fear, and when I looked at things they just looked weird. Like I was playing my guitar in my rrom trying to chill myself and I just looked at my hand and I was like "that looks so weird…. wow is that what reality looks like." Very weird feeling. I felt I wanted to run out of my body and fly up into the air. I felt I was going to have a mental breakdown and lose control of my thoughts and actions; basically lose myself.

So I went to the ER cz I thought I was having a heart attack. The doc told me it was anxiety after checking me up.

I’ve reduced my stress sense then, but my depression has gotten MUCH worse and I’m just recovering from a severe episode right now.

Yet I still have the physical symypoms of anxiety… headaches, muscle tension, and this weird feeling in my neck and head like I can’t sustain my head or something weird like that. I feel lightheaded and fatigued, disoriented, and just generally very sore.

I noticed EVERYTHING, all my symptoms went away during spring break, but then came back the moment school started.

I’m just afraid of my life there is something seriously wrong with me. Everytime I read about a new disease I think I have it…

Two doctors and my parents and everyone are telling me there’s nothing wrong with me yet I fear I have things like lime disease, brain tumor, or some other life-threatening illness etc. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about…. And incredibly sad.
I’m going to my second psychotherapy session tomorrow.
I’m 17 by the way.
