Something pushing down on my brain?

I’ve posted a few time’s the last few weeks but I am just so petrified of what’s causing my symptoms and I have an mri this week but I’m so scared. I’ve already had a CT scan.

24/7 I feel something is pushing down on my brain at the top of my head. I’m getting tingles and sharp prickly feelings aswell as burning inside my head. I can’t help but think it has to be something bad. I can’t get up and walk around I’m so scared of the sensations. I just want it to go away 😢.

No one can seem to relate to my symptoms which makes me more anxious

Yes I get that sensation too, I’ve been back and forth from doctors but they never seem to do anything for me. I’m currently on sertraline for severe anxiety because the feelings and sensations I get in my head are awful that is causes me to panic that it’s a tumour or something awful. I often feel unwell and don’t leave the house cos of fear I’m going to pass out or something. At least you have had scans done so they will be able to see if there’s anything there. There probably isn’t anything wrong it could be a symptom of anxiety or maybe some migraine symptom but I understand how you feel, it’s horrible x

Did you ever get sorted with this? I have this too and I aren’t sure what it is. My best guess for me is that I may have vitamin B6 toxicity from supplements
