First of let me just say I have read alot of these threads and it seems full of alot positive reassuring and very decent people so I felt I had to join considering my problems... I am sorry about the lenghty post but I have been REALLY scared and upset, so thanks in advance for anyone who has the time to read.
Ok here is my story.. About 4-5 years ago I started to suffer with really bad heart palpitations and chest pain, I got blood-tests, an ECG and a chest scan, eveything was normal and I was told it was anxiety although I never felt anxious at all.. Since then I have just never felt right, with dizzy spells and have suffered with a few panic attacks along the way. To this day I still also get alot of weird sensations in my chest. Now about 2 months ago things started to get worse
-Morning sickness
-Stomach pain and unusal rumbles
-A quick jolt to the head that seems to make my legs jump (happens about once a day)
-Hot flashes
-Eye floaters and sparks, also experienc a quick flash sometimes
-Metallic tastes in my mouth
-An odd smell that only I could sense (seems to have eased off now)
-An odd pressure in my head which just seems to always be there, sometimes a shooting pain will occur in the same place
-Random pains all over my body (today the top of my left leg has a dull-ache)
-Blurred vision almost alot, lack of focus
-Slurring words every now and then, finding it hard to pronounce words.
-Unusual thumping in my right ear which comes about once a day
-Fatigue
I am not experiencing any panic attacks recently, and alot of these can just randomly come on when I'm feeling relaxed so It's hard to accept that it's anxiety.. I have seen 2 doctors both of which performed a physical examination and said they don't think it's anything serious but have told me "if I" want I can be put on a waiting list to see a neurologist.. I'm convinced it's a brain tumour :( but I have no choice but to wait to see if I can get a scan. Because of my visual symptoms though I did have my eyes examed and was told there was no swelling and that my sight is perfect (doesn't feel it) and got a more recent blood test which was normal..
Although I appreciate nobody can tell me it's not a brain tumour, I'm just wandering if there's any advice or just something that could help, thanks alot :smile:
