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 .
