Hi!
I don't get HA very often, especially not the last few years. But now, I'm suddenly worried crazy about having a brain tumor - that one hasn't even crossed my mind before. I've had neuro "symptoms" for some time, but rather typical ones for anxiety - "falling" sensations out of nowhere, peripheral vision phenomena, twitches everywhere, etc.
Luckily, I've never had trouble with headaches or nausea (never migraine). But now, a couple weeks ago, I started getting nausea and decreased appetite, which in itself was bothering but not really worrying. Now, for a week I've also had a persistent headache on the right side, rather near the top of my head. There's like a pulse of pain for about 10 s, every 2-5 minutes or so, consistently every day. I have persistent eye twitches on the same side the past week, and I also feel extremely tired/sleepy.
Categorical as one is with HA, I can't fit this with any "classic" type of headache: Migrane would last shorter/be more intense, tension would be on BOTH sides and not with nausea etc. So now I'm worried it's a brain tumor, and that my previous (and still existing) "neuro symptoms" have been related all this time.
I'm going to see my GP, but it's likely going to take a while and in the meantime I figured I'd post here, instead of browsing other not-so-HA-friendly sites.. just to see if someone has had similar experiences, or just sensible opinions on the matter. The one-sidedness, nausea and persistence has me really worried.
Cheers <3
