Hi everyone, basically i have been suffering from headaches on and off for the past 8 months, mostly on the left side of my head, but for the past 2 months they have been constant and travel to different parts of my head.

Back in March the headache was so bad i was sick, i also get tingling in my head and my left eye twitches sometimes, which scares me a lot as i know those are also symptoms of a brain tumor. My eyes have always been sensitive to light and i get a lot of floaters too!

The headache is sometimes a dull ache that can last all day or sometimes its sharp pains that come and go throughout the day. I have been to my GP and he looked into my eyes and said i dont have a tumor but i find it so hard to believe. Does anybody else have a similar experience? I also have post nasal drip which im not sure if this could be connected either?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Seany If your dr was in ANY doubt if you had a brain tumour he would have referered you for a MRI Scan etc! A dr has had many years of training So personally I would go with his opinion Don't Google your symptoms as this will only keep your HA cycle going, you need to break this cycle and now :) ATB

Thanks for replying! I really hope you're right, i've suffered with HA for 8 years now but this is the biggest fear i've had. The doctor has put it down to tension headaches. I banged my head before the recent bout of headaches which i guess led me to focus on my head constantly. But can tension headaches really last for 2 months and move all over the head?

Possibly migraines?
