Help, I really need advice.
I am a 37 year old male and over the last 4-5 months I have been experiencing headaches mainly around my eyes at the front of my head. I seem to be getting these headaches nearly every day. I always think the worst and think that it is a brain tumour. The pain feels like a pressure in my head and I have fleeting pains lasting a few seconds around different parts of my head. I must admit that the headaches are not really painful only about 2/3 out of 10 but they just seem to nag away at me. I know deep down that this is probably health anxiety which is the cause but I cannot seem to get rid of it and am always researching on Google and convincing myself which makes things worse. I have noticed that my eye sockets are also extra sensitive and are tender when touched
I have suffered from Heath anxiety for a long time, over the last few years I have has prostrate problems (going to the toilet a lot, dribbling urine etc) and convinced myself I had cancer. I have seen the docs and had some prostrate blood test and all has come back clear. - The doc has put it down to an enlarge prostrate - I still fear the worst though.
I suppose in my mind I was wondering if the constant worry over this is causing tension and anxiety?
I keep feeling stupid going to the docs all the time as they never seem to find anything so I feel like a hypochondriac. The viscous circle keeps going and I am thinking about the issues all the time. I have tried neck massages but this does not seem to relieve the symptoms.
I cant seem to enjoy anything like time off or holidays as I am tense all the time and think of the worst. I don`t know which way to turn.
