help me, i can't calm myself

[Mariax]

i suffer from health anxiety for over an year, specifically head pains that are not really a headache but like a shooting and stabbing pains in my head (not forehead or temples, the back of my head). i had a CT scan a few months a go that came normal and i was really happy and relieved until i found out that MRI is better and now i think that my scan didn't show the tumor i'm afraid i have. i asked my neurologist for a MRI and he told me that there is no way he's going to let me stress over this anymore (cause i had a CT scan also an year before this new one) and told me to visit a psychiatrist and accept my anxiety. i'm trying to, but i can't stop obsessing over the fact that maybe the CT didn't show anything...

Unless you pay for an MRI yourself theres not much you can do..
You need to accept you've had 2 CT scans and there's nothing shown up...if it was a tumour then during the time between your 2 scans ,something would have changed and shown up in the latest one..
By now you'd be having all sorts if symptoms if it was a tumour you'd had for a year.

I had those shooting pains at the back of my head when I started getting sick/anxious too. Very weird and worrying, but I had an mri and they onky found a fairly normal cyst that they didn't think would be causing anything. The pains had gone away anyway.
