Suspected AN

Last year, out of the blue, I developed pulsatile tinnitus (wooshing noise in my ears, more on left side) I then went onto develop headaches which were affecting me at night. The headaches worsened to the point I could only sleep on my left side. I seem to be experiencing occipital neuralgia and if anything touches the back right of my head it sets off the headache (even putting my head on a pillow). The headache feels like pressure all over my skull. When I sit up the pain moves to behind my eyes and then feels like a migraine. I also have flickering / twitching of my eyes. I was prescribed clonazepam which has helped the tinnitus and occipital pain at night. Audiology picked up dysfunction in my hearing during tests and so an MRI / MRA was arranged due to suspected AN. I was scanned on 23 Feb ruary 25 and received a call from ENT recently to book me in to discuss results on 13 March 25. I am nervous about the results. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced any of the symptoms above prior to or after their diagnosis?
