Brain tumour fear has been exasperated...

Hi

I have posted before about having a headache for a month.

It initially felt like a sinus one - around the eye and forehead.

Last Thurday it changed, throbbing on one side of my temple.

It got really bad on Sunday and I heard "popping" in my head and went to A&E.

The doctor looked in my eyes and did a quick neuro exam and decided that I need to ak my GP for an urgent CT scan.

He aid it's not normal to have a headache for a month.

My GP thinks he's being over cautious.

Totally freaking out now......

Meh.... not normal to have a headache for a month sure, but not unusual either.

Brain tumor headaches don't move around.

Totally normal to have a headache for a month in my opinion!
I had one almost every day for 2 years! Stress, anxiety, overuse of headache medication, you name it!
I think me taking a painkiller for them every day, started causing them.

Do you take painkillers for them? Because that could very well be what's causing them to stay for so long.

saying it's not normal is not saying it's suspected brain tumour.
I think you suspect it more than they do. their just covering all bases
typical signs of brain tumours are more like seizures, strokes, instant blindness, uncontrolled vomiting.
