For the past 3 months i have been experiencing headaches, mostly on the left side, just behind the ear, sometimes they move to the front of my head. It is mostly a dull pain but sometimes i get darts of sharp pain in different places all over my head. I had something similar last year but it went away. The pain isn't there constantly, it is mostly in the morning when i wake up and then in the evening before i go to bed.
I went to the doctor three times and he looked into my eyes and told me it was nothing to worry about and it was most likely tension headaches, i also told my psychiatrist about my symptoms and she also said it sounds like tension caused by anxiety, but over the past few weeks i have developed other symptoms. My left eye keeps twitching, when i lie down i get a ringing sound in my left ear, my neck is very tight and hurts, and my left arm also aches and goes tingly. I know all my symptoms are those of a brain tumor and i am absolutely terrified, i can't stop thinking about it and it's making me so anxious.
A few things to note, i also have post nasal drip so not sure if this could be related to some sort of sinus issue? I also have terrible posture, with having an anxiety disorder and agoraphobia i don't go out very much which leads to me sitting at home in the same position all day. Maybe i'm just hoping either of these could be causing the problem to take away the fear of a brain tumor.
Has anybody experienced anything similar? any help would be appreciated, thanks :)
