Does this sound like a brain tumor?
23f. I’ve struggled a lot with health anxiety my whole life & I started worrying about a brain tumor a month ago when i fainted/seized from smoking tobacco.
Here are my symptoms:
- memory issues
- random small body jerks in my arms and legs
- was dropping things a lot at work yesterday
- confusion with reading/talking, feeling as though I’m going to forget my entire vocabulary when I talk (i realistically only forget a few words now and then)
- spelling has gotten worse like when i type or write its more confusing than it previously was
- dizzy spells/moments of intense anxiety that make it feel like i might faint/seize again (these pass fairly quickly but my brain feels weird after- i’m worried these are temporal lobe seizures)
- feeling of head pressure after i fainted/seized that was on and off (dr said this was likely tension headaches from anxiety but it didn’t feel painful, just pressure-like)
i go in for an MRI next week but i feel like i’m going out of my mind with anxiety right now. I’ve gotten 2 neuro exams by my GP and they were both normal, plus a normal fundoscopy to check my optic nerve for swelling.
