Brain tumour worry

[Jem27]

Sorry me again, today I feel dizzy, my eyes feel a
blurry & tired and have had a cold/sinus pressure headache in back of my head for weeks, been told ive chronic sinusitis and I have a steroid spray for the pain.

Panicking its a brain tumour coz i feel so tired and dizzy and im weak in my thighs every day:-( not googled but im freting and upseting myself.

I am having a full blood count thursday, if I had a tumour anywhere in the body would the fbc pick it up?

I am so upset.

[**whenwillthisend**]

Not sure about the FBC picking cancer up, i have often thought that myself as i have had 4 in the last year, but worried myself to death over them, and guess what they were all normal...i think a FBC is a good indicator of your general health and im sure would pick up anything abnormal going on in the body..stop worrying though, and pleeeeeeeease dont get into the brain tumour thing...i convinced myself i had one earlier on in the year, i made myself so poorly worrying.
can i ask...do you think you will be reassured when your blood tests come back normal??...
cos with me the reassurance lasted a day before i found something else to natter about...its like a never ending circle..
good luck let us know how you get onx

I think it will help me but in about 6 months i will worry again no doubt.
Thanks

Hiya,
Don't know if this helps but the FBC should show if there's anything 'suspicious' going on- eg, if your white blood cell count is raised I think this is an indicator that you're 'fighting' something. So it may be raised if you have a sinus infection?
I hope it goes ok for you, I'm sure it will be fine.

I also have had blood tests due to a headache that won't go away and convinced myself it was a tumour.
Mine also came back clear.
Also seen 3 doctors who were very thorough and an optician. I was told they can see if there is anything strange going on at the back of your eye which would indicate extra pressure.
All ok.
Feel alright at the moment, but I am sure something else will come along.

hi everyone

just a thought on this thread sometimes muscle tension in the neck and shoulders can cause dizzyness , headaches etc i know when i was stressed this is what happened to me . sometimes if i just moved my head the room would spin i was convinced my brain was ill but i read many books by the late dr claire weeks very good books

hope this helps
