Bad anxiety and scared of brain tumor

Hi everyone. So ive been pretty scared the past 4 months that i have a brain tumor and the symtoms im getting are double vision loss of smell. And muscle weakness. The double vision my eye doctor thinks is from dry eyes (wich i believe her) but the eye drops dont seem to be working. I also only see the double vision on the cumputer. The loss of smell is conpletely lost. Its just i cant smell that well and i went to go see and ear throat and nose doctor and they said it (could) be post nasal drip. Ive been soing the flownase dor 2 weeks and dont see any improvments. Then for the muscle weakness. Ive had very bad anxiety for the past 9 months and havnt been active at all. I used to do all sorrs of activites but for right now there on hold. So i noticed the muscle weakness when i would get out of bed and when i try to use my abs (core). My body would shake. Everyone says my body is just weak from not being active. Also keep in mind i did have blood tests done and nothing came back alarming. The only thing that stood out was my viteman D level was very low and im taking suppliments for that. I shouldnt of looked up symtoms for brain tumor that was a mistake. Can anyone help me?

Unfortunately Jacksons, looking up what we propose to be our diagnosis, is always a bad

idea. It only comes back to haunt us into panic and fear. You've been to a couple doctors

but still haven't gotten any true answers. I would suggest a Neurologist. That doesn't mean you have some catastrophic issue, it just means you want answers in why you are experiencing these symptoms. Sometimes going to too many doctors just gets confusing where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. A Neurologist specializes

in the symptoms you are getting. You owe it to yourself to have an answer. Meanwhile, no more looking up symptoms or second guessing. I wish you well. xx

Hey buddy. I would check with a neurologist. I just got one a few weeks ago. And I’m scheduled to do an EEG and an mri. I would call your primary doctor and get that scheduled.

Not what you're looking for?
