Hi,
Can anyone reassure me? I have been having some really weird 'full' feelings in my head for some time, with occasional dizziness and electric shock feelings. My ears become 'full' of pressure and pop a lot, but I have seen an ENT specialist who said he could not find anything wrong with my ears, but has referred me for an MRI just to be sure.
I have really awful depersonalisation I think its called, where I feel as if I am on another planet to everyone else. Cannot concentrate on anything for too long, find social situations difficult etc.
I have asked my doctor if I should be concerned about a brain tumour, and she laughed it off, saying I displayed no red flag symptoms.
I somehow feel as if she has branded me a hypochondriac, as I have presented to her in the past with anxiety symptoms, but I don't feel particularly anxious now...just about this awful feeling in my head.
I am finding it very difficult to deal with, my partner isn't terribly understanding, and I have two kids who I have to remain positive in front of. I spent this afternoon sobbing in the bath, the only place I could be alone with my worries.
Please can anyone offer me any explanations for these feelings, and should I be concerned about a brain tumour? I am 34 years of age, and have so much to remain alive for, I am terrified my life is about to be cut short.
Thank you all, RG x
