Hello everybody, I'm back again.
I recently finished University, and so have had a lot of free time on my hands. Until recently, I'd been somewhat worried about ALS, but had mostly shrugged it off. However, for the past 2 weeks or so, I've suffered from occasional bouts of dizziness- which may sometimes be accompanied by nausea- which has set me off worrying about a brain tumour.
The only caveat stopping me going into a full blown panic, however, is that at a party just before this began, I stupidly ended up injuring my ear. Immediately afterwards, and for a few days further I had ear aches and horrendous pain in my ear if I even slightly clenched my teeth. Even now, I somewhat get ear pain in the same location. Given dizziness and the ear's relation to balance- I suppose this could be a possible link to the symptoms.
The only other thing I've noticed is that if I stay up for a particularly long time, I may get headaches, which has further compounded my fears.
I want to go to the doctors, but I I may be waiting for a while, and in the meantime am descending into panic. Any advice from here would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
