Why would a doctor allow you to walk out of the office if they thought you were dying?

Getting married is actually really stressful. There is so much pressure to have the perfect day and there is a lot of expectation placed on you so I'm sure that's contributing to how you feel. I've been through brain tumour anxiety myself more than once so I know how you feel. I've taken comfort from the fact that several people have told me in the past that the symptoms of a brain tumour are very obvious and unmistakable, you would know if you had one that something was really not right. Try to take some time to rationalize your thoughts and write down all your fears then some more logical alternatives next to them. Also try to do some relaxation, meditation, exercise, anything that calms you down.

Hi hun I do understand and having the stress planning a wedding is extra stress. I suffer with chronic headaches cluster headaches which are really painful but u have treatment. My specialist told me a brain tumour has different symptoms then a headache. I really understand how u feel I'm not coping too at moment its so hard to believe the drs when the symptoms are real and they are real ive had them. What I'm trying to do is to distract myself do anything breathing exercises I do look on u tube meditation. U will be ok focus on your wedding

I too don't believe drs hun still don't. With me I always think the worse outcome I guess its the anxiety as the symptoms are real. I know how bad u feel its like your stuck in this bubble it is utter hell. Do u read theres a good book il give u title if u want. How long have u been on meds?

Keep taking antibiotics and physical symptoms should ease. You're really working yourself up and it's making it worse for you. Try and rest - it's only way you'll recover. You will be OK.

Quite a bit of your balance is controlled in your inner ear - so it would make perfect sense that an ear infection would cause dizziness.

Seeing as you are also having sinus blockage, it also makes perfect sense that you have an ear infection (probably a result of a bad cold).

Try to relax, ear infections are common. The docs have seen this all before. Take all of your antibiotics, get some rest, and drink fluids. If it doesn't get better after the antibiotics are gone, go back in - you may need something stronger.

It's definitely not a brain tumor and you're definitely not dying. I promise you that cold symptoms do not indicate a tumor of any kind.

I would have answered with MRI but that will just feed the obsession. There is no real way other than facing anxiety. I am the pot calling the kettle black here as I can't seem to achieve this either.
