I'm 26 years old and have had constant nausea/dizziness for 2 months. In the past few weeks I have also had mild on-off headaches, a fluttering/twitching left eye and a weak left arm and hand. I've also got a tender spot to the right of my spine. I have been so scared that these symptoms point to a brain tumour that has spread to my spine.
I had a MRI today and although the test itself was okay I am TERRIFIED of the results.
The technician told me it would take 30 mins but it took nearly 1 hour (even though I sat completely still) so I'm petrified she spotted something bad and had to re-run the test to get more pictures. She was also on the phone to someone at some point which terrifies me she found something.
I asked if it looked okay and she said "I'm not qualified to tell you anything but I took lots of clear images".
That sounded to me like code for YES IT WAS BAD BUT I TOOK GOOD IMAGES FOR THE DOCTOR TO LOOK AT!
She gave me a CD but I'm too scared to look at the pictures because I know I'll see something scary.
My follow-up appointment is tomorrow but I am literally having a breakdown and have no idea how I will get through the next 24 hours. I know I'm being dramatic but it just seems like all my symptoms point to the worst possible outcome and I've never had weird head pains like this, it's nothing like the usual tension headache I get when stressed/anxious. And the weak arm/hand thing is FREAKING me out.
