Hi... I'm 17 years old and i sufder from anxiety, I have recently been worrying about having a brain tumor as i have been getting headaches, when I take over the counter pain killers it goes but comes back when they start to wear off, i have had the same headache for about 3 weeks and it feels like pressing eaither side of my head, sometimes my forehead and sometimes my eyes, I have been readinf up about symtoms and I don't think i have any other than this headache, I am in college and I'm trying to enjoy it as i know I can't get I back but I can't stop worriying about there being something wrong with me, I also have toothace in the morning and throughout the day and I think I am clentching it in my sleep but i am unsure,I hope someon3 can answer my guestions so my mindwould be at ease thank you.
Hi jay 89924,
I just thought ide try help you identify and get ride of some scenarios ultimately helping you get peace a time mind. You mentioned headaches, this can be caused by so many things and the fact they are recurring is not good, however if they are intense and mainly in one spot (usually brain tumours are rare and aim pain in one area on the head.
If this doesn't put your mind at rest I recommend a opticians appointment not only as it could help with eye strain related headaches. It out of experience if you have a strain on your optical nerves cause by brain tumours or fluid on the brain due to pressure, it can be detected by a simple eye test.
Sorry if this wasn't any help,but hope it was and i hope your mind will be put at rest soon.

Hi Jay,
its difficult to say why you are getting headaches. Could be anything from stress to allergies to posture issues. Your best bet would be to visit your family doctor and tell him or her your symptoms. Or a doc around college. If you have a bad tooth that can cause headaches too. make sure you mention that.
Dont google a lot, it just scares people and most likely doesn't pertain to you
feel better soon😁
If you are worried enough why dont you arrange an appointment with your doctor?
Wow you are describing TMJD. Google that. Not a brain tumor. Tmj ksnt so easy to manage though. You need to see a maxillary surgeon. He will do a panoramic xray and fit you for a soft mouth splint to sleep with. That should helo a bit. Eat soft foods and sadly ues anxiety is behind it. But tmj has a host of its own issues and symptoms. Thats why you need to get the mouth splint at least. It can start causing oains and ear stuff later in life if untreated. It does also calm down at times which is nice. But give that a google because at least youll have many answers, things that aid with tmj is acuounture, meditatiins, hypnsosis, and all the anxiety remedies as well. Applybthose gel oacks heated to each side of you jaw for about ten minutes and see if that helos some of the issues. The headaches are direct from the tmj. No nsaid will work as you keep doing it. I say this from my own wxperience and what younwrote. I have tmjd and im 20 yrs later with ear issues now but all from the tmj. I was able to manage it for a solid ten years though.tmj is tempro mandibukar joint disorder. Aka clenching, bruzism.
