Could this be a possible brain tumour?? :(

[anxious_thoughts]

I've had headaches for almost 10 years that seem to be getting worse. WHen I lay down on my left or right side I get sharp pains in my head and I also get head pressure when I lay down flat on my back. I had severe dizziness last weekend, with horrible sharp pains in my head, weak right arm and leg, and my face felt like pins and needles. I went to the doctors and he performed some neurological tests on me because I thought it was a brain tumour, he also checked my blood pressure (which was fine) and I had blood work two days ago. The doctor told me it was all due to anxiety and stress, which I thought it was because after I left the doctors the headache, dizziness, weakness in right arm and leg, and pins and needles feeling in my face went down a bit but is still there. It's now been 4 days since I went to the doctors and I still have headaches/sharp pains in my head, pins and needles feeling in face, and slight dizziness especially when I am looking down. I also have head pressure and pain. What could it be?? :(

Hello. I often get numb arm and leg down my left side and suffer from tension head aches which feels like a pressure on my head like you described. If your gp has checked you out and thinks its down to anxiety then it does sound like it is. I find the more I focus on my worry the worse it will be. Try to get plenty of sleep (lack of sleep gives me headaches).

Hello,
It's nice to see someone is going through almost the same as me. Makes me more calm. If this doesn't end my next weekend I will go to my doctor again. I've also noticed that if I'm not thinking about it it sort of goes away too, maybe it just is anxiety. I still get constant headaches though.
