I hate having to make a post here, but I can’t keep myself from googling otherwise, so here we go.
I’ve got a stabbing pain in the base of my head tonight so of course my mind has hopped immediately to brain tumor.
Trying to reason with myself that it’s likely stress, bad posture, or both. I do have terrible posture and sit badly at a computer all day for work, then go home and sit badly playing video games. Makes sense more than a brain tumor for sure.
Or stress, since we’ve got a hurricane about to hit here in Florida and I’ve been running wild all over town looking for supplies this week.
I also don’t have any real symptoms. Nothing beyond the head/neck pain, some pressure in my ear, and chronic migraines I’ve had for 20 years, which clearly would’ve been a problem by now if they were anything more than just migraines.
I have been on Paxil now for 5 weeks for health anxiety and have an appointment next week to see if the dosage needs to be altered or if the med is working for me. I’m keeping notes on all my mental health symptoms so I can report them faithfully to my doc.
Til the appointment I just need to keep this health anxiety blip under control. And convince myself I do not have a brain tumor.
Sorry for this rambling mess of a post!
