So today I decided I had had enough of this headache that seems to have lasted for weeks and finally got an appointment at the doctors. I was determined that I wanted to go for an MRI or CT scan of my head to put this fear of a brain tumour to rest.
I got to the doctors and explained my symptoms and told her I was terrified of having a brain tumour, she did all the checks of my blood pressure, looked into my eyes, felt my neck and other things. Do these checks actually indicate a brain tumour/ are they enough for the doctor to say you definitely do not have one?
Anyway she said the headaches sounded more like a nerve thing? Then prescribed me a type of anti-depressant, well i am already on citalopram so i don't think these tablets will make a difference, apparently they help with nerve ache?
She said if the symptoms do not improve to go back in a few days. This appointment has not reassured me, I just want answers to why I have had a headache for weeks, why I feel dizzy and why it is making me so anxious all the time :( I keep expecting to have a seizure at any minute, like i am almost waiting for it to happen which is making me so anxious!!
Any suggestions or experience with these please comment, its making me crazy!!
