Hi guys I'm new to this forum and thought I would ask for some advice.
I've had a few issues lately (all stress/anxiety related) and my latest problem is this pain around the top of my head.
I first noticed it only if i applied pressure to the area and it would give me a sharp "migraine like" sensation but it would go away pretty much straight away after i stopped touching it, this went on for about a month.
THe past week or so i have been experiencing the pain without having to touch the area and it has now started to affect my left eye. I have had a constant feeling in the bottom of my eye and it pulsates every now and again and I am beginning to think that I may actually have something serious here. I have been to A&E and to my GP twice about the issue and BP came back normal and they shone a light into the my eyes and nothing came up. I was told by the DR at the hospital I may need a CT scan but my GP doesn't want to give me one as he said he says i don't need one and that it could do me more harm than good.
I'm starting to think now that it could be a brain tumour, start of a stroke, a blood clot, haemorrage or temporal arteritis because pain killers don't seem to ease the pain.
If anybody has; or knows of anyone who has felt this sort of pain please let me know cause i'm starting to get stressed again and i don't want to go back to that state of mind cause it makes my girlfriend worry.
Thanks.
