Hi There,

I am new to this site but have had health anxieties for at least 5 years!

I recently suffered two bouts of migraine with aura and was totally petrified that it could have been a brain tumour but the doctor has reassured me that it was a classic migraine with aura. Ever since then, my anxiety has come back and I convince myself that my vision and balance isn't right and therefore I have been experiencing dizzy spells, fear of dread and just the general anxiety symptoms.

Should I request further tests? Or does anyone else suffer from migraine with aura? My first bout was the scariest, it hapenned on the tube in London and I ended up lying on the bed at a the station! I didn't have a bad headache afterwards (just a slight one) but my vision was fuzzy for 15 minutes, as if it was an untuned tv channel. I honestly thought I was going to die!
