So I’ve been getting headaches on and off for the past few months and I straight away think it’s a brain tumour or something as bad as that I just wanna know if there’s other people who are suffering with headaches and dizziness as I am I don’t know what to do my mind is foggy 24/7 and I’m scared to got to the doctors as I just fear the worst I’m only 17 and my health anxiety is destroying my life I haven’t been in education for some time or even leaving the house I just wanna start doing more , I’ve been getting better because of anti depressants as I suffer with that 2 but my symptoms stay the same dizziness headaches itchy ness the list goes on , just need reassurance thanks 😊

Hi- I have a similar issue- many times high anxiety can cause migraines and dizziness and not a brain tumor. Have you considered talking to your md on the phone about this? Sometimes just having a plan can help. Hugs.
I’m going to see my psychologist But scared to go doctors 🤯
Im sorry you are going through this. Im not an md but studied lots of psych undergrad and grad. Would you consider sharing your fears of going to your md with your psychologist? A psychologist is trained to help you deal with your fears. Im sending you my positive good wishes to you. I know this isnt easy.
If they thought you had a brain tumor you would not have been put on antidepressants.
I’ve had a brain tumor. Your symptoms would have pointed them in a direction to check first.
Headaches suck and I’m so sorry you’re going through that. Can you talk to your doctor about the headache issue. Maybe another antidepressant is right for you.
At age 17 hormones can be a culprit for headaches. Tell your doctor. Also maybe your holding your jaw tight. A trip to the dentist maybe? I wear a mouth guard.
Best of luck to you.
