hi all I guess I'm just a little scared and need to talk to somebody. I have had extreme health anxiety for God in the last 10 years now. it mainly was surrounded with my heart and brain and I sometimes stressed about blood clots. I did have every test done possible and has always come back negative but it's sad to say now that they finally gave me my MRI for my head because I've been having pretty bad headaches the past six or seven months now which everybody thought including me it was migraines and induced by my anxiety, now I was just told of that they found what's called a incidental lipoma in my brain. which I don't know exactly what it is and what the future holds for me because I'm still being referred to a neurosurgeon to talk about it but what the nurse told me is that it is a usually a benign tumor that usually is asymptomatic but can cause headaches which is what I have been experiencing. I am super scared I don't know what's going to happen I don't know if I need to get it taken out and I know brain surgery is extremely dangerous but at the same time I don't want to have these headaches for the rest of my life. I'm super scared and I really just need somebody to talk to please anybody
hi so sorry to hear i also have a cyst in my brain in the pituitary gland i also get headaches not all the time but when im stress and im wordering if the cyst may affect it i also in perimenopause.
my son had a tumor in the brain at 15 and had surgery and he is 21 now . he is fine just a scar yo remind him of. you just got to get the best surgeon and hiw many it has done and check the board make sure he has no malpractice.
I am sorry you are going through this anxiety. it sounds like nothing serious. Just get some different opinions if you can from a couple different neurosurgeons. I have a cousin who had a benign tumor removed from her brain and she is doing absolutely great. If it needs to come out the main thing is researching neurosurgeons in getting one who has very high ratings. You may not even need to have it out but just something to think about .
hang in there and if you need to get some support from family members and speaking with a counselor really helps in venting your feelings

thankthank you guys for responding to my message and the advice you to give it to me and your experiences with your families who have had to have the surgery done. Yes it’s just tearing me down mentally and probably making my headaches worse thinking about it and googling it did not help because I found it can cause seizures and sudden death so I just need to breathe and be calm until my appointment.
