Worried about Parkinsons / Brain Tumor

[Gogspurs]

Hi All,

Not having a very good time of it recently and I am again worried something is seriously wrong.

I have developed a left side tremor which is felt in the back of my head, left arm and generally left side of my body including my face and eye. I feel a pressure in my temples and have a fuzzy head. My tinnitus which I have had for 2 years has become worse and is now heard in my left ear where before I could not tell which ear it was in.

I woke up this morning with pins and needles in my pinky and ring finger on my left hand which has now gone but I can still feel like a burning feeling which made me panic.

I am only sleeping for about 4 hours and wake up suddenly at 5.30 every morning with a hard heart beat.

I am worried that I have symptoms of parkinsons disease or a brain tumour, can anyone give me some advice please, this is really affecting my day to day life and I am worried about my mental state.

Thank you - George

Brain tumour pain usually is worse in the morning, so my GP told me (yeah, I have been there too).
The symptoms you describe don't really fit well with Parkinsons.
i think youhave nothing to worry about. Seriously.

mate I am a passionate Spurs man. Even here in Australia, we love our EPL.
Seriously, don't worry. It all seems like a fairly normal thing. I get tremors and pins and needles all the time.

you may have slept funny on the arm that had pins and needles in the fingers I do it all the time. Sometimes I have a completely dead arm.

Also when my anxiety was at it's worst a year and a half ago I had weakness down my left side, my face felt numb on that side and I felt all trembly on the left side also. Once my anxiety medication kicked in it went completely. So you can get those symptoms with anxiety.

Thanks Eek,

The tremor has been going on for about 2 weeks now and just really worrying and exhausting. It's not enough to be visable by anyone else but for example if I have a glass of water on my desk and I rest my arms on it you can see the water vibrating.

I can only feel it in the left side nothing on the right.. which is weird!
