I had a hot flush yesterday followed by a migrane. I went to A and E and was seen by a nurse and Dr, who did blood tests and what the Dr called 'neurological obs'. They diagnosed me with aura and then a migraine. Previously I have been to the Drs with head pressure, twitching and pins and needles. I have seen 3 different Drs over 5 visits and they have all checked me over including 3 back of eye exams and they have all said anxiety. I am on Day 4 of citalopram.

If there was a brain tumour would they be able to tell?

HIya JM

You wrote, JM : -

100% Yes.

I do know a person who had one once who, incidentally, fully recovered. And so yes, they would have picked it up at once.

Hi JM

The doctors would be able to pick up on your symptoms and be concerned if you had a tumour, if they havent- that means you dont have one :)

plus, a symptom of anxiety is thinking that you have a brain tumour xx
