Headache and smelling burning...

[anxietyoverload]

Yesterday I had headache most of the day which is fine, but when me and my partner were home watching tv and i got a really strong smell of burning! My partner couldnt smell it at all but i could! now im thinking brain tumour..obviously! anyone else had this? xx

hi i would say if it were a BT then you would have more than one headache it would be constant, i have heard of the smell issue before never had this myself but it could be your sense of smell is more hightened i am sure you are ok try not to worry yourself blessings

Thank you for replying :)

I think i know deep down its probably nothing, but sometimes i cant help but ask! I have a lot of problems with my visison - visual trails, floaters, so i think that heightens it! xx

I have visual issues too, and mine are merely due to eye strain. (My job involves staring at a computer screen all day!) and I also get headaches and other random twitches because of my eye strain. It's probably nothing, please try not to worry, we all get weird symptoms sometimes and 99% of the time they're just anxiety playing with our heads! :)

I always used to think this. Every time I smell fire I instantly panic thinking I'm having a stroke! If you had a brain tumour your headache would be constant and you would almost certainly be being sick a lot! Try not to worry :) xxx

Thanks for your replies! Im starting to come round a bit now! thankfully my anxierty is no where near as bad as what it used to be, and iv completely got over it now. Thank goodness!!!! xx

This made me laugh because I used to think I was having a stroke every time I smelled burnt toast. I would go looking for the source of the burnt toast smell, frantically sniffing the toaster.

I look back now and think: 'what the hell was I doing with my life?'

HAHAHA this made me chuckle! thats me! i was wondering round the house trying to find a source, but there was none!
