something else to worry about!

hi everyone.
I have done a couple of posts now about suffering from dizziness and light headedness. It all thinking back it started when i had my first panic attack in December, so have put it down to anxiety. .
I have generally felt rubbish ever since. I feel like i wake up every day feeling fear how i am going to feel that day. some days i feel worst than others. i have been doctors and she has taken some blood tests, results due next week.
this last 5 days or so i have had a headache every day, pretty much all day. not enough to say its a pain, more like a dull ache.
I am obviously convinced i have a brain tumor. . . any reply would be great x
thank :-)

Sounds like a classic tension headache I used to get them everyday, in fact its how my HA started, they were never painful but more of a feeling that I had a tight hat on or someone/something was pressing on the back of my head

thanks for your reply jade. how did you 'cure' them? its a vicious circle, i feel like everyone something improves slightly, i get something else that sets off everything else again :-(

The doctor prescribed me amitriptyline its an anti depressant but at low doses its used to treat pain like headaches and other tension, it worked well on my headaches, unfortunately it won't take my other symtoms away! But thats another story. Perhaps if they carry on you could mention in to your gp, but try not to worry about them, I too feared brain tumour, but of course it wasn't, if it was anything serious the gp would know, they know what they are looking for.
