Hi guys,
I posted in around December last year tha I had a fear that I had a brain tumour. I saw a neurologist today who, like all the other doctors I've seen believe I don't have anything sinister and that it's just migraines. Of course, this made no difference to my worry, and although my panic attacks have gone, my anxiety is still here. The doctor seemed very blasé, he gave me a routine check I.e touch your nose, look into your eye etc, and afterwards decided to put me on amitryptylin. Again, I feel that I'm being handed pills because all they read on my notes is 'anxiety'. Over the past couple of days, I've felt unwell and I had a bad headache (relieved by ibuprofen for the day), the pressure seems more noticeable and the derealization/ dizziness has also become more noticeable. My ears feel extra full and I've had pains in my ear and intense tension above my ear. I'm not panicking like I used to but I'm worried and can't go to sleep. Can anyone reassure me please?
