Re: Pressure in head - Brain Tumour fears - Advice needed
The mind is a powerful thing.
And if you're convinced you have something such as a "brain tumour" then you're going to feel "symptoms"
I did much the same thing...I've convinced myself I have had many different illnesses...a brain tumour being one of them.
I went and spoke to a doctor about my concerns. He said that with a brain tumour a doctor would look for "localized symptoms" as he put it.
This includes twitching muscles, numbness in arms/ legs, vision problems.
With headaches...a doctor will not be concerned about these unless they are waking you at night...
Pressure in the head is very common with anxiety....
Pain around your neck/ eyes and jaw is most likely tension...when we are tense we tend to clench our jaws which can cause this discomfort.
I understand how you feel though, I went through the same thing not long ago...had headaches everyday, pain behind my eyes, neck, jaw and pressure throughout my head.
Once I finally accepted that wasn't a tumour...but anxiety the symptoms vanished.
However you must accept that you do not have a tumour 100%...
I hope this helps, all the best.
