Hi
I haven't been on here for a while as I have been managing my HA with things learned from a therapist seen a few years ago. However I find myself back here as I am scared and don't know where else to turn.
Nearly 2 weeks ok I had a few occasions where I experienced a sudden stabbing pain in my head, it hurt a lot and upon standing I felt dizzy. A week ago I had head pain that got worse when I bent over, now since then it has changed to a daily headache that has been there every day this week, it hurts more and I get worse pains in different areas of my head but the nagging ache is always there.
I was trying to be good at earlier in the week put it down to being due on my period, my period started Thursday and the headaches are still there. I have booked a doctors appointment but can't get in till the end of next week. From previous googling I know I match many symptoms for a brain tumour- new headaches(I don't get headaches normally) and other symptoms such as when the pain got worse last week when bending, and the fact they happen most days.
I find myself scared and with that cold sweat you get when you fear something's wrong. I can't think of any other reasonable explanation and lay with my daughter fearing I will leave her. Not helped today by the very sad story of a local man who after having constant headaches was fx with a brain tumour and died so sadly within a year. I read this this morning and this has fuelled my worry.
