Hello everyone! It's actually been a bit since I've been here, mostly since my health anxiety has been pretty under control. However, things have taken a bit of a turn recently.
I've had a bit of a stuffy nose since around August, but I had mostly written it off as just allergies or something to do with the seasons/temperature. It's been a few months, and I've been growing more concerned as it hasn't gotten much better. It's nothing terrible on its own, but a few days ago, my right eye just started watering out of the blue, and it seems to just be in this constant state of being wet. It's weird. Along with some on and off pressure in my eyebrow area, it's been a rough time.
So now, I'm worried that I have some sort of sinus tumor, or cancer in my tear duct or something. Those are both super rare (especially since I'm 26), but I just can't shake this dumb anxiety feeling. I really hope it's nothing, and I plan to make an appointment with a doctor sooner rather than later, even though I'm absolutely more worried than I should be. I just wanted to know if anyone has experience with anything like this, maybe to just calm my fears for a bit. Thanks for listening!
