Head pressure? Brain tumour fears.

Mental health
1

I'm a female and I'm 16.

For about 6 months now, I've had this annoying pressure on the top left side of my head. Sometimes my leg feels weird but I've never lost balance or anything.

The pressure doesn't hurt, and I do get stress headaches but they're not usually that bad and are easily treated with paracetamol/ibuprofen.

I have severe anxiety, and clench a lot. I also have eustachian tube dysfunction and my ears are constantly blocked.

I have mentioned the pressure to my ENT specialist but it didn't seem to faze him. My GP did a blood pressure test which was normal, and didn't really worry.

This pressure is worse when I think about it, and doesn't bother me when I'm busy and doesn't prevent me from doing day to day activities, but it is irritating and worries me a lot at night.

Help?

literally in the same boat. mine is on the right side. i have one right now after getting over a whole month of having them. im 16 too and have really bad health anxiety. when im not focused on it, it's like it's not even there but when i think about it, it sucks. heat helped for me. it's just tension headaches in my case tho and probably the same for you. my neck is usually tender to touch from all the tension i carry. my ear is also blocked right now but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i know it'll eventually go away because the other did as well.
