Hi everyone, I'm new here and stumbled across this site after hours of trawling the internet trying to find out what's wrong with me. Yep I know, my first mistake! For the last 4 months I've not been feeling right, it started with a one sided headache that didn't go away for a week and also pain in one ear. I went to the docs and they said I had fluid in my ear so got some nasal spray to try to clear it. I had the headaches every day for over a month, even when the ear pain stopped. I also started to get strange sharp shooting pains down my arms and into my hands regularly and sometimes the same thing happens in my legs and feet. I also started getting random hiccups most days, just single ones at a time. Backwards and forwards to the doc but they weren't too concerned. After googling I became convinced I had a brain tumour because of the symptoms and really struggled with panic etc. I went back to the docs who have referred me to a neurologist, however they did mention Heath anxiety to me but I felt like the symptoms were too physical for it all to be in my head. In february I went on holiday and throughout the holiday and also once I was back, I felt absolutely fine so eventually put it down to stress and cancelled the neurologist appointment. However all of the symptoms have started up again, pain in my left ear which is like a sharp pain and one sided headache, as well as the pains in my arms and hands. Because it went away for a few weeks I feel like it may be stress related but the symptoms are so physical I am also now worried Incase it is a Brain tumour and I'm really scared!!
