Ok so Im just gonna go into my symptoms and then Ill tell you what im thinking:
Eye Floaters
Blurrier vision ( I already have glasses)
Numbing in hands when sleep
Numbing on scalp when laying down (sometimes, only lasts 10 sec)
Headaches in back and sides of head ( sometimes on either side)
Nausea (not when I eat, sometimes in the morning)
Extreme muscle twitching ( everywhere but mainly in legs)
Im 16 years old and Ive been dealing with a certain fear for a good 4 months now. That I have a brain tumor and I'm not ok. The weird thing is my symptoms stop for a good 2 weeks when I decided that I just overreacting because the reason I am so scared is that I googled my symptoms and that came up. My worrying started again about last week when I watched movie where a little boy had one and my symptoms came back crazier than ever. Guys, even when I dont, worry my symptoms still occur, even when Im sleep. Im a know hypochondriac that's why I dont wanna tell my doctor I feel this way because I know shelll mad and tell me theres nothing wrong with me because Ive already went to her twice thinking I had Leukemia/ Lupus and I was fine. But this is different it feels completely real and it has caused so much destruction in my life. BTW I have Iron Anemia that I should take pills for but I dont because my mom just hasnt gotten them yet. But I dont think that is a factor of why my body is doing this .
Please if you have any input, comment. thanks
I have floaters in my eyes and flashing lights. I have the headaches in the back and side of the head as well. There are so many other causes of these things other than a brain tumor. I just had an MRI on Friday and am waiting fir the results of that. I can definitely understand being worried about your health. I have had horrible health anxiety fir months and they have done quite a few tests and everything has turned out ok so far. I know that it's hard to accept that nothing is wrong when you feel like something is definitely not right. Sometimes it's just anxiety and your mind feeding into it. I know because I would Google things and read about them and then I had more of those symptoms. It definitely happens. I'm trying to stop worrying. If you think something is happening with these headaches mention them to your doctor.
Be honest with your. You may be given a referral to someone with an expertise in dealing with hypochondria. I know it's a very difficult problem. Do you have friends or are you pretty isolated.
I have friends but I tend to isolate myself because Im just so depressed sometimes
Thanks so much. My mom is taking me to the ER tonight so hopefully they can figure something out, Im just so scared
You need be careful using the word to much. It's almost like the word the week. Every one feels sad from time but they don't have clinical depression. And depression and anxiety go hand in hand.
youre right, I dont have depression I know what its like because my mom has it. Im no where near that, but it is difficult for me to even want to get out of bed because im so worried and stressed
How did it go at the ER? Did they figure anything out?
