Could it be a tumour??

[debstar]

I was getting my anxiety and panic attacks under control from having therapy and hypnosis until...

I suffer from Benign Positional Vertigo and I can wake up in the mornings and the room is spinning. I had this on Sunday and my mum rang and I told her how I was feeling.

She aksed me if I had had a cat scan done to check for tumours.

Well did my anxiety and panic kick back in. I am convinced now that the dizziness is coming from a tumour. I have had the vertigo on and off for 6 years and when I get it I just ride along with it and it never used to really worry me.

My mum always thinks of the worst and likes to tell you. The psychologist thinks that this could be a major factor in my health anxiety and panic attacks that I have been getting this year.

My mum doesn't know what I have been going through this last year with these attacks and I chose not to tell her as she tells the rest of the family.

I really needed to get this off my chest. I am going back to the ent specialist in January as he is trying to work out what is triggering it off, he is sure that it is the ears from the symotoms that I describe but he has never mentioned about having a cat scan or the possibility of it being a brain tumour so it has never worried me up until now.

Hi. I am not a Doctor but I think if you have had attacks of vertigo for 6 years with gaps in between the attacks, then it is just vertigo or anxiety and nothing else. I would only worry if the symptoms get worse or you develop new symptoms.

Hope you feel better soon.

Absolutely. It is VERY unlikely that a brain tumor would be causing vertigo here and there for six years with no other major symptoms.. Try not to worry.
