That's the beauty of anxiety it tends to give us so many symptoms that we take as being cancer or brain tumours etc...I read somewhere that only a teeny tiny percentage of brain tumours have headaches as a symptom - it's one of those urban myth that tumours makes our heads hurt. Hopefully the doctor can ease your worries.

Hi

Hope your feeling okay. Honestly anxiety is very powerfull. I have the eye thing too and a whole load of other symtpoms and have just left my psycologists office and he has made me feel so much better about the headaches vision, aches and pains and everything- its all stress and anxiety related.

Try not to give the anxiety a place to grow if that makes sense. You have an anxiety prob not health prob by what you say and the very fact your on this forum.

If you went to the opticians, they'd have noticed pressure or swelling at the back of your eyes if you had a brain tumour that was affecting your vision.

Do you need glasses?
Because when I did, my vision went bad and I had shed loads of headaches.

I don't have any headaches (yet).


Brain tumours are not very common so I wouldn't worry.
