I didn't sleep again last night for sharp pains in my head, a muscle in my right leg twitched all night and I knew I was dizzy even with my eyes shut. Then I started getting pains in my boob. I seem to drift in and out of light sleep and have crazy short dreams. I am convincing myself that the pains are keeping me awake and it's not the anxiety keeping me awake and noticing the pains. I read that headaches with tumours are bad and they wake you up with the pain.
My worry lately is my brain with all these symptoms like vertigo, headaches, brain fog, earache, pressure in my head and I just keep getting more symptoms and random sharp shooting pains.
I have had health anxiety plenty in the past but this feels different. My gp only looks in my eyes with a light and says there is nothing to suggest brain tumour. I come out thinking well he didn't even do any neuro tests or bloods etc. I know I am not going to settle until I get an mri scan or something but I know it takes ages to be referred to a neurologist.
I see an ent specialist tomorrow and I am wondering if he sends me for an MRI is it just of your ears or is it of your whole head?
I hate feeling like this x

Also my right leg and arm feel a bit and numb. I am driving myself crazy with worry, I keep crying non stop. My mind just keeps going over and over the same thing that I think I have a tumour.

Can nobody relate to this?
