Definitely Brain Cancer

[Sleepy]

Tinnitus is really common. I recently had a bad spate of it due to a build-up of wax combined with tapering off an AD which was heightening my anxiety. I think I always have buzzing in my ears, but usually you only notice it when you think about it.

I had the wax removed, tapering withdrawal over with, tinnitus gone! (Except of course I can hear it now because I thought about it...)

I don't think it's ear wax. My ears don't feel plugged or clogged. I just have the faint ringing in my ears constantly if I'm quiet. I think it is louder than it used to be and perhaps is indicating a brain tumor or growth on the brain. :(

Ugh, happened again today. 1 second of vertigo / dizzy feeling and then was basically back to normal. So odd. I wasn't even anxious at all today so not sure it is anxiety. Really trying to fight off these brain tumor fears.

It has only occurred when I am on the computer and typically later in the day around 3-4pm after I have been on it for a while. It has never happened when I am not using the computer. I also feel like once it happens, I feel like a have a slight headache and feel slightly "off" after that for a while.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar in regards to computers?

Dark side hi please try not to worry I’ve had a constant headache for 2 years. What u need to do is go to gp and ask to be referred to a headache specialist. There are 300 different headache disorders out there not saying u have one could well be anxiety. I can totally relate to your anxiety if u wanna chat I’m here. I’ve read some comments on here that are quite blunt dark side is obviously struggling

So I’ve just had a read thru this thread - the whole thread. This fear started for you in April. 10 months ago. Logically thinking, don’t you think if you had a brain tumor, it would have progressed to the point of complete debilitation by now? Or worse? I read early on that you were unwilling to go to the doctor because you were afraid of what they might say. I get that - believe me, I do. However - at this point, 10 months later, what do you have to lose by going and seeing the doc? What are you missing with your family by spending every waking moment stressing over something that you most definitely don’t have? Wouldn’t you much rather spend that time enjoying watching your kids grow up? Spend valuable time with your spouse? Or even just enjoying life? At what point do you think you will be able to say “I’m so sick of this, I’m making an appt with my doc”? Just some food for thought. No response expected - just try to take it in.

The Googling health anxious people do is not "research".

I've not read the whole thread. I had tinnitus last week (constant buzzing and humming in both ears), all week, it has gone now. I periodically get this and pain across my temples and forehead, sometimes one-sided. It is from clenching my teeth and jaw being held tight. The more I clench the worse the pain. I've recognised I do this for years, and once the symptoms start I have to be proactive in stopping the damned tooth clenching. It could be this ?
