in 2012 I developed left headaches and eventually got reffered for ct scan- all clear apart from being diagnosed with migraines. convinced myself I was dying at the time :(
since then I have had a few migraine episodes all on the same side.
2 weeks ago I developed a headache in the centre of my head, have had them before and usually sleep them off.
anyhow woke up the next day with random shooting pains in right head/temple area. as the week went on, I continued to get these pains 90% right side 10% left.
sometimes on my right side it is around and above my eye, sometimes its on top of my scalp. sometimes theres a burning sensation in my right forehead.
left side pains can be anywhere.
the pain above my right eye is especially there when I cough/bend/sneeze.
I managed to see my gp on Monday and she said it sounds like nerve pain and can last week.
she checked back of my eyes and couldn't see anything and she said if she was worried about anything she would tell me.
I have another appointment for 2 weeks time.
I also have an opticians appointment for Monday.
on a scale of 1-10 the pains when they come are only a 1, they are not debilitating but its just the fact they have been there for 2 weeks.
I am absolutely petrified of a brain tumour.
I don't think I have any other symptoms. I have tingling in left leg but I have been taken accupan and one of its side effects is tingling, so I think it is that.
at the minute, this is taking over my life. it is 4.45 in the morning and im at work at 9. I should be in bed but I woke and cant get back to sleep worrying. :weep::weep:

i should also mention over the last 2 weeks I have had aches and pains in all 4 lobes of my head on both sides, some more than others..
also when I cough/sneeze I get a stabbing pain above right eye :(
