Constant headache, please help:S

[Alexy]

For the past 3/4 days or so i have had a weird kind of headache, that has been constant. Although the thing is, its not like a normal headache, it started of as like a pain in the right side of my head at the back, which then lead me to notice every little thing, and although it may sound strange, its as though i have noticed the weight of my brain or something, it feels as if there is a weight or something in my head. Although paracetamol reduces the feeling slightly, i still feel kind of faint, and like everything around me isnt real..if that makes sense? Iv been to see my doctor who has given me cocodamol tablets..will have to see how that goes..... im terrified its a brain tumour, or something else nasty, and im terrified of going to sleep in case i never wake up:( Im a 17 year old female btw.

The headache you are getting really took me back - it sounds JUST like the problem I had in 1993 [before this brilliant forum existed]. I was quite convinced I had a tumour. My doctor tried at the time everything but no luck. He told me he was convinced it was anxiety & tension but I didn't believe him. In the end he tried what he told me was a new idea for constant headaches like mine - an anti-depressant [I can't remember which one]. I was most put out as I wasn't depressed - anxious yes, depressed no! Yet it worked like a charm & I've never had it back since. But I'll never forget the pain & the terror - every day, all the time. I really feel for you.:hugs:
