It’s been almost 2 months and i still get worried that i have a brain tumor or cancer. my body feels so heavy and dizzy, i’ve had 3 more panic attacks, jumpy vison, tingles and needles in arms and feet randomly, mild double vision that only occurs at night when looking at my screen, i just get dizzy and shaky and feel fain, i get headaches that occur sometimes, very manageable but still a pain, and i just am scared. i’ve had multiple EKG, x-rays, blood work, all normal except a potassium deficiency. i’ve never had a cat scan on my brain, i had an mri on my spine and maybe my brain in 15’ and was normal. is this anxiety? i’m so scare d

Sounds very familiar to me when I have an anxiety episode, especially the dizzy, shaky and jumpy vision.

When I have to present at work I can feel my voice change as well.

I’m a big fan of propanol, it helps calm me down big time, no side affects and your doctor won’t mind prescribing.

Ah , Good old propranolol. Having an eye test though wouldn’t do any harm as anxiety tires your body and your eyes are the first to suffer. Even just a weak prescription may help

Anxiety can cause these. But id recommend going to the doctors just to make sure. I have dizziness as well as heavy head but its due to Anxiety with me.

I've had something similar going on for the past 8 months or so...it's anxiety...it sucks, but acceptance is key.

Hey been a while, and no, i am no longer dwelling over a brain tumor. I had a cat scan of my brain in June, all normal and so i stopped getting anxiety over it. However, i still get pains and flippy vison but it’s all anxiety.

Well I am so happy to hear that!! I have lightheaded/dizzy spells and my body has been feeling heavy, which is what brought me to your post. It’s wonderful that your health anxiety over the possible brain tumor is gone! 💜 I hope you continue to find peace!

Yeah looking back during those months i suffered , my dad was on life support in april and was severely sick and i saw him basically on his death bed (he survived) so

my anxiety and nerves were traumatized and were just very bad anxiety. because i saw him get sick i thought i was gonna get sick type of anxiety. and i too still get scared. last week i thought i was having a heart attack, my body was too heavy and just really weak, my chest was tight, heavy, ugh, picking up my body felt like a bag of rocks. but i had ekg, all was normal. my suggestion to you is to just get a dr appt or go to a er tell them everything and have them run tests. more than likely u are okay. you don’t have a brain tumor. it’s just anxiety. just trust me.

i’m sorry. it sounds like anxiety. if you have multiple symptoms more than likely it’s not a brain tumor
