I can't believe it is anxiety.

Hello all, I was diagnosed with two benign brain tumours in Dec 2015, having had constant symptoms of feeling faint and spaced out especially in busy and hot environments. This further developed into dull headaches that are constant, eye floaters , a pressure feeling in my head and the feeling of a very heavy head. I find that when I go from sitting to standing I get very faint and have to compose myself for a moment. The only time I feel relieved is wen I'm excercising. However my oncologist and neurologist are adamant that these symptoms have nothing to do with the tumours due to the size and location in the brain. I have tried so much for relief of symtpoms , physio therapy, ENT consultants ; who detected migraines problems however Amitrptylin hasn't seemed to work. From reading reviews on here many other people share my symtpoms . Does anyone think this is anxiety or could anyone suggest checking down into another medical area. This has been going on for a year now , and is so debilitating for a 23 year old male. Hope someone can relate to this and give any advice. Much appreciated

Brogan

Hi brogan. I am constantly petrified I have a brain tumour. My eyes have loads of floaters I get a pain behind them. I get dull headaches I get ice pick headaches which scare me so bad. I get dizzy working in a busy hot environment and feel faint. I get ear pain sinus pain jaw pain neck pain really horrible head pressure. All which i believe are connected somehow, my eyes have been checked got new glasses floaters are apparently common enough. I have sometimes seen stars when I've stood up to fast. Doctor has suggested therapy instead of medication and loads of natural remedies so I'd love to hear if anyone has in site. I hope u get answers I do no what ur going through ur not alone

Hi I have been suffering with headaches for about 2 months now , my Dr says its anxiety related and has prescribed propranalol as I have been having panic attacks . I am convinced I have a tumour tho ! I get the strangest sensation in my head , I can't even describe it . My head seems to hurt more when lying down .My neck hurts and sometimes the pain goes down my arms . Some days I don't know what to do !
