    I think you might have some other symptoms as well if you had a brain tumour but I do know how easy it is to go down that route of thinking - I do it myself all the time. Are you on any meds for anxiety? just asking because I know they can produce a feeling like you describe. Maybe a trip to the GP would help put your mind at rest.

    Hi

    I'm sure you are ok and this is not a brain tumour...you would be suffering I presume with terrible headaches as well. I went to boots and had an eye test where they also offer for some extra charge to tale images of the back of the eye...these can usually show any pressure etc etc. I had one.

    I always suffer with sudden dizziness.

    Im sure your ok...

    Xx

    Hi Lele, I suffer with dizziness/ Dodgy vision/ headaches and also thought I had a brain tumour. The more you think about it the worse it gets.

    I just started citalopram 13 days ago and seems to be taking the edge off my thoughts to a degree. Anxiety sucks I hate it and feel for everyone who suffers with it. Have you considered meds to help you along? Try not to look online at symptom checkers they are terrible and only make you feel worse. Go see the doc and see what he says and this might put you at ease slightly. Hope you feel better soon. Take care.

    Yes it's horrific. Is this anxiety?

    I've been on anxiety meds before and would prefer not to go on the again. But this is getting ridiculous.

    Lele, I'd say it's anxiety the mind is a powerful thing that can create physical symptoms and it is scary which make you more anxious and you get stuck in a vicious cycle of thinking. I'd go and see the doc and see what he suggests as living in fear is horrible. I've never had meds in my life till this and I'm willing to give anything a go to control it as it is very scary indeed. If you have any questions email me or put them up here and I'll try my best to help as know what you must be feeling like all too well myself. Take care.

    It's really scary!! I'm so nervous and dreading it happening again.

    Thanks Mick that's really nice. Anxiety is ruining my life just now. Why can't I just move past it!
