So scared! Please help me

This started in July/August I thought I had sinusitis. It went temporarily and then came back along with tingling sensation on right side of head. I noticed a cracked tooth and went to the dentist who then referred me to a specialist. They were going to remove the tooth but didn't because he said that my problem was something to do with the joints of my jaw. 
he said to eat on both sides. 
long story short, the tingling in the right side is there every morning and continues through the day. Sometimes I get a headache too in one place. I also get a tingling cheek on the same side. I had a massage who said that he thought my problem was stress and tension, my muscles in my neck were so tight that he couldn't move them for a while. I am a worrier and suffer health anxiety. I am terrified beyond words of having cancer. I am absolutely terrified of going to the dr incase he's concerned and send me for an mri. (I also have claustrophobia). Please can someone just put my mind at rest. I'm waking up at 2:15 every morning completely terrified! 

My daily symptoms are: tingling in right side of head which definitely get worse when I worry about them.  I am driving myself mad and even as I write this, I feel the tingling. 
 Dear God I am so scared. I just want this all to go, to end!

  • Hiya, I do think the only way to end it all is to go to the gp and express your concerns, I'm a worrier too and health anxiety affects me so much but the only way I can feel relief is once I've seen a gp! and had the scans done! I'm currently waiting for a breast clinic appointment to come for a lump I have and I've been worried sick for two weeks so I've forced myself to get checked and feel better for the referral coming! 
    I guarantee once you've seen a gp and you have some reassurance and a plan going forward it'll ease your worries!

  • I came here three years ago after finding a breast lump and the support on here was amazing. Thankfully mine was not cancer and I hope that you get good news
