Hi, can someone give me a bit of advice? Four months ago my Mother died sudently of a brain aneurysm and since that ive been diagnosed with anxiety and Panic disorder. Since that ive experienced various phisical simptoms related to those disorders and im on citolopram and Xanax. In the mean time with all the simptoms ive felt ive convinced myself i have a brain tumour . Lately i have had a persistant headache that Matches the descripton of a tensional headache and náusea, but i got really scared because my doctor didnt find it normal for me to have those simptoms together but since those simptoms were recent She Said that we should wait for the citolopram to work and than if i still had those simptoms we would do more testes. The thing is im really scared that i have a brain tumor and waiting two months for my Next appointment without knowing is going to drive me insane. Should i make a appointment and be strait with her about how i feel and ask her to do a mri or just wait? Sorry for any mistakes English is not my first language
Ask the doc to send u for a mri scan I used to be the same I went for mri and was fine now they say it’s anxiety think we all worry too much about our health I’m sure your fine do u suffer from a lot of headaches
Thank you so much for answering.
The headaches started after i had a panic attack and since that i experience headaches and nausea that come and go. Sometimes they come together and others im either fine or have one or the other. Ive been having a lot of nausea but i think that because i just started taking the citolopram
Good Day
Anxiety make u to think negatively
So it's. All in your heard. You still in a shock bcz your mother passed on.
I lost my friend because of heart failure. After few weeks I developed similar symptoms that she had. Like fast heart beat, sleepless nights, dizzyness, headache.. I had a bad days ever.. Bcz I was working with her.. I used to have panic attacked, cry.. The world was big for me.. I then when to the heart hospital where I was diagnost of valve lapses it is caused my anxiety. I have anxiety as well. I drink my medication and iam much better now. At least I can sleep. Please take it easy🌹
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'll trie to not overthink every single thing i feel
Hey honey, I don't an awful lot about brain tumours but I making an educated guess, I would say they grow and develop over a long period of time. For that reason, I would rule that out. Did your headache and sickness coincide with you taking the Citalopram? It could be a side effect. It could well be stress. I think honey, it your doctor was overly concerned, then there is no way she would of suggested waiting. You are no doubt going through a difficult time. I would like to say, don't worry, as I honestly don't think it's anything serious but, I know only too well that it's easier said than done! Do what you feel honey. There are no right or wrong answers to this. Donna xxx
Forgive my mistakes, and English is my first language!!! lol x
Hi Ivania.
I am going kinda through the same thing you are right now.. all of a sudden last month I started getting awful headaches that would last me all day.. I got worried sick and I ended up having anxiety and depression supposably.. I started citalopram and I’m on week 4.. the headaches started to wear off but now since yesterday are back and I’m worried. doctor said it’s not a tumor as I wouldn’t be able to walk, talk, or eat if I really did have one.. I guess that’s right but I wish I knew what was causing these migraine headaches of mine. But I’m sure you’re okay hun.. if they say it’s anxiety for us it has to be right? I hope we both heal.
The headaches started before i began taking the citolopram , but before i was diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder i experienced diziness and my doctor did balance, coordination and a march test just to rule anything out She Said. Everything was fine and i asked if that meant i didnt have a brain tumor and She laughed and Said that is normal since my mom died from something so unexpected , that i would think i have something on my brain. She is a very kind and thorough doctor so i do agree that if She thought something was up She would get me tested . I'll Guess i'll wait and see if the simptoms persist evento when the citolopram starts to work , since its still very early , i have been only taking it for less than a week.
Thank you so much for responding, your comentes have been really helpfull
