Please help me (scared of brain tumour)

Cancer

I really need someone's help.

I suffer with chronic health anxiety and I really can't bring myself to go to see someone.

Basically as part of my anxiety and OCD I shake my head really hard and have done for a long time. Anyway last Thursday I woke up with a pain that hurt when I turned my head. It manifested as a bad headache. The headache is there all the time, when I try to shake my head it hurts and the pain in my head is there all the time.

Pain killers do help slightly. Today I've felt like it could be sinus as it hurts in my nose and I feel dizzy headed like pressure. But I have a bad headache. Sometimes the pain goes and then I shake my head and it comes back on but I either have pain when I shake my head or a headache. Both don't go altogether.

I'm so scared its a tumor, does anyone have any time to reply and and help me?

other than that everything is normal and work wise etc

My nose feels like it's blocked and needs unblocking and hurts on the bridge of my nose

Stop shaking your head and go to your doctor.

I can't tell you how many patients on this site have had to repeat that we are not doctors and as such can not diagnose what is wrong. That is what your GP is for. Personally I am recovering from lymphoma, have a meningioma (brain tumour), rheumatoid arthritis and two days a week look after my autistic granddaughter - go to your doctor and get the appropriate help. If you're feisty enough to be sarcastic to me channel that wasted energy into doing something positive about your own condition. Good luck.
