Hi all
I have been suffereing from nasty headaches around my eyes, in the eyebrown and the top of the head and forehead, like a heavy weight hanging on my head. This has been going on for about a week, recently I have ben having really bad health anxiety and am back on propanolol although only taking it when really needed. I am actually quite prone to headaches, mostly in the afternoon.
With my headaches, im also feelng very anxious, nauseas and a lot of pressure on my face. I became sevelerly convinced that I had a brain tumour as I would wake up with a headache and go to sleep with one.
I finally went to the doctor begging for a brain scan but the doctor spent about 10 mins talking about my headaches and symptoms and did a full neurological exam and eye test and said there was no need to have a scan and that she wouldnt be referring me to one as she has no doubt there is anything wrong.
Can I just accept this or shall I return asking for a scan??? Im in such a state at the moment which is making my headache worse. I am now getting dizziness, lightheadedness and depersonilasation :(
Any advise?
Thanks, Katie xxx
