LewisF15, it is always wise to see your doctor to rule out any health issue before assuming that it is anxiety. Your mom is most likely 99.9% correct in saying that it is anxiety in stressing out about college. College is a big step and can cause anxiety to appear giving you these symptoms. I hope you follow through with seeing your doctor then come back to the forum where we can help guide you through anxiety and stress levels. Take care, talk soon

Read my first post . Anxiety and stress can cause TENSION headaches , Which feels like someone squeezing the heck out of your head . You can always go get it checked out with a ct scan or MRI , but from what I've read brain tumors usually don't have any symptoms unless they are very big in size . Take a deep breath and relax . I'm sure your fine .

Thank you and I'm gonna go doctors just to ease my mind if it all and I'll probably see if I can have some therapy or something
