brain tumor fear taking over me

Hello all so once again me with my brain tumor fear. For about 9 years now I have had horrible symtpoms that began when I was 12. I got fear, trembling, sensations of falling, and bright vision. Then theough the years I got depersonalization, dreamy like state feelings, and just alot of vision problems and floaters. I blamed this on anxiety. I would be unsteady, and out of breath. I went to doctors but they said I was fine. These symptoms got bettter about 2 years ago when I began a new life style and I was so happy.

Now my mom got sick. The symptoms slowly creeped back in. Began with headache, throat ache, and pounding ears, earache. My floaters have gotten so bad like bunch of black cowebs and waves. When I see lights I see the white spots floating. Went to optometrist after 2 years from previous appt and he said I looked the same. But he saw my left nerve was a little weird, and my retina was stretched. He said he was going to refer me to an ophthalmologist and retina specialist. The referral said "URGENT." Even though he seemed unbothered because he said i looked the same. He put down glaucoma suspect. And I want to cry. Like what if it is a brain tumor! It would make total sense for the floaters, the vision, my insane thoughts! I went to the emergency room a month ago and they sent me back home. I am hopeless and scared of a freaking tumor. I AM ONLY 21 😪

I also would wake up at night shaking, so many weird thoughts, migraines, one sided pains, numbness. (Also, I am anemic)
