Hi everyone - I am overcoming my health anxiety and need some reassurance in order to help me.
About a 7 weeks ago I started having mild daily headaches and was terrified I had a brain tumour. I also had terrible health anxiety which was horrible. I had classic anxiety symptoms such as dizziness and drowsiness and derealisation etc. I had my eyes examined and all came back fine! I also saw my school nurse (who is amazing) and she said that I do not have a brain tumour and it's my anxiety that I need to deal with. This made me feel a lot better, however I then went on to worry about things such as ALS, heart attack, leukaemia, lymphoma etc. And my mind was taken off the brain tumour symptoms and the headaches began to go!!!!
However I have recently become fearful of them again as I have always had a LOT of floaters and only just started to notice them again and online it says floaters are a sign of brain tumours. But my eye test was 100% fine. I don't have headaches anymore and don't have seizures. I also am not nauseous and have not committed in years. However since I have stopped worrying about everything I have started to feel almost in a daze and a slight sense of derealisation again. But I think this is due to the fact my mind is not focused on anything for once!!!!
So if you read all of this please give me reassurance that I don't have a brain tumour!!!!!
And also would I know if I had a seizure because I get occasional muscle twitches!?!?
Also how to deal with feeling in a daze and almost a sense of derealisation?
Thank you and PLEASE give reassurance?!?! :doh:
