Recurrent Brain Tumour Worry - Headaches

[StillyKat]

Hi all,

I recently posted about my headaches that I keep getting, and that my biggest fear is a Brain Tumour. I went to see my doctor about the headaches and my fear but he said it probably just sinus and tension headaches.

However, the other day I woke up with a really stiff neck, and now the headache seems to have travelled down to the back of my neck. I just though I had slept funny, but when I turn left or right it kills my neck and puts more strain on my headache!? Is this normal with tension headaches? I just thought with tension headaches that you get the pressure in the back of the head???

Im very confused and fed up!

Thanks so much for listening xxx

Sounds like you have a pulled muscle in your neck to me. I sometimes get a headache from my neck when I've slept funny (sometimes you do this without knowing).
