End of my tether!!

This could be a long one so bear with me...

For goodness knows how many years now, I have suffered with headaches/pressure. I actually don't call them headache, they are more head pains as they are usually very short lived, few seconds maybe a minute at a time.

The pressure happens usually when i go from sitting to standing and is my whole head.

They went away for a long time ( months rather than years) but they're back and my anxiety is through the roof!

They are primarily on the right side of my head, side and top. Sometimes neck pain aswell. I also get strange dizzy spells, bit like I am on a boat.

I have seen countless Drs over the years who all say, its muscle or anxiety related!

Yesterday, I had a strange episode when I came over funny, went light headed, my ears rang and a tingling/numbness came over my face. I felt really sick for a period after but I took myself off to cool down ( the office was very stuffy) and i felt okay after that.

I am just so worried this is a brain tumour or aneurysm and no one has taken me seriously all these years and that i'll just die.

I try to rationalise it that its to do with my neck and certain positions trigger the headache/make it stop but I cannot 100% convince myself.

Has anyone else experienced similar and it turned out to be nothing to worry about?
