I have such bad brain tumour anxiety. For over 10 years I've had head pains and headaches mostly all in my right side. When I get anxious I notice pressure in my right eye, and weakness in my right arm and leg. Most recently, when I look down I notice head pain that worsens on the right side of my head and forehead. When I touch right after my temple and just about my ear it feels larger than my left side and I noticed that the pain usually comes from that area. Could the swelling be from my jaw or sinuses? Or am I just over thinking it? :( I just hope it's not another brain tumour symptom. :( also, when I press in the area that's bigger it's kind of sore

My right side is more swollen and mine is related to my jaw and muscle spasms. Mine gets sore to touch and even makes it so I can't wear sunglasses without discomfort. Does ibuprofen or Tylenol make any difference in it?

Thanks so much, that's reassuring. I haven't really tried any medicine for any of my symptoms. But I do have a pretty messed up jaw
