I am really worried i have a brain tumour.
Ii am not usually a worrier when it come to health, i put off going to the doctors unless im really ill (and also because i am a little ocd that i will pick up worse bugs at the doctors). Things have now got really bad and i am terrified.
It started 6 weeks ago, i had terrible headaches which last 3 weeks, during a particually bad night with my headache i became confused and began talking gibberish one night. This really frightened me and i panicked id be left in this state and hoe the hell would i get up the next day and function like this ?
My headaches went but i have been left with these funny episodes of feeling confused, this can go from moderate to extreme. The other night i could feel it creeping upon me and this led to a panic attack, i couldnt grab hold of a single thought, couldnt think of my childrens schools names etc, then today whilst having my lunch im worrying about what i put in my daughters lunch box because for the life of me i can not remember.
I have an mri scanned booked as the doctors are concerned with my confusion. I didnt mention that i suffer with bad sinus pain on and off as i wanted them to investigate this not just brush it off as sinus headaches. I have noticed that my sinus' are particularly bad around the times i have these episodes. Would this cause such confusion though ?? i dont have sinus pain when i am having these episodes.
I know i am feeling anxious which in turn makes things worse, but im anxious because of this confusion - i dont think its anxiety thats causing it.
i am so tired today and generally feeling rubbish, im so fed up and worried.
