Yet another brain tumor fear

[scfan]

After reading many posts on the forum, I have to add another to say that I, too suffer from a fear of a brain tumor. I've had headaches several days in a row. They seem to move around, but are mostly located at the top rear of my head.

I'm having blurred vision occasionally as well.

It would be nice to chalk this up to anxiety, but I'm really getting concerned.

Hi,
I used to have the exact same fear and i had all the tests done and i was fine. The symptoms you are describing can definatley be anxiety.
If you are really worried and dont think you can shake the fear off i would ask your doc for some tests, at least then you will feel a little better.
Im sure its just anxiety though, i know its a common fear with sufferers
Take care

Hi scfan

This is a common fear and headaches and vision problems can both be due to anxiety. If you haven't had an eye test recently it would be worth considering this.

i know how ard it is to make this fear better but the fact is anxiety is good at tricking us into thinking we are seriously ill. in fact it is our fears that cause most of these horrible symptoms

im sure you have been checked by your doc as so many of us have and been old it is just anxiety. try your hardest to trust him or her. i myself know how hard this is but do try

I have this all the time, infact along with the dizzy spells this is a common side effect of my anxiety. Its prob down to the stress of worrying all the time try to relax!
