Anxiety or a brain tumour

Maddiewilliams1302 profile image

I have a feeling on top of my head of pressure that is with me nearly every single moment of the day. I have forehead and sinus pressure that is really bad but no runny nose or anything. When I wake up, it feels stuffy. I sometimes get facial pain and it feels like from the pressure of my sinuses. I get pressure all over my head and in my temples, I can see floaters when I look into the light. I feel detached from reality 24/7 every day and it won’t go and my arms feel numb and when I look down it does not feel like my body or when I look in the mirror. The pressure in my head and sinus is awful and I’m convinced I have a brain tumour. Last year I went for a ecg blood tests and a MRI scan but came back fine but the symptoms have gotten much worse since then so I’m scared I have a tumour and it has grown. Can someone please help?

This sounds like a sinus issue. It’s hayfever season and I get all the symptoms you describe when the hayfever sets my sinusitis off. If you’re thinking the worst after having tests and being given an all clear then it’s very probable you have anxiety as well. You could try the anxiety forum as someone else suggested but it’s also worth a trip back to gp to try and get your sinus symptoms manager better. Good luck

I have it with me every day 24/7 and I feel detached from reality and not in my body and feel tired all the time, the doctors say to me it’s just anxiety and not to worry, I’ve been for so many tests and been to counsiling for 2 months but it never helped me.

Maddiewilliams1302 these are questions you really need to be seeing your doctor for, did they give you anything for the original sinus problem which seems to have triggered all the worry? If you have had tests which have shown nothing serious then it is very likely that your symptoms are due to anxiety, what you describe are very typical physical symptoms of anxiety which people don't always associate with "feeling anxious" . This is something your doctor should be able to help you with. Internet forums can be very helpful at supporting you but your doctor needs to assess what medical or psychological help you need as well. X

They gave me some nasal spray and that helped abit but it’s jsut getting worse like all the pressure in my sinuses temples forhead and head. I really don’t know what it is and I’m starting to worry

It sounds like scm muscle strain. Look it up, then look up how to fix it, usually it is done by stretching. It is a common thing and can be fixed. A lot of people get it from looking at mobile phones and computers, it is common.

Stop worrying.

I'd start with jimmyjimmy's advice and come back if still struggling. So many people have referred pain to a larger or lesser extent.

Not what you're looking for?
