I’m worried if it’s a brain tumour or just health anxiety.

Ok, basically I’m a 17 year old male. I was getting heart palpatations and chest pains so we went to a&e. They did tests and said I was all fine and it was proabably anxiety/stress. I do get stressed socially, but hadn’t had a huge amount of stress recently to cause this, but they say it could be a build up.

Since then they’ve gone away but now I’m nauseas, tired and have a lot of tension in the back of my head. I then felt my head and feel a lump on the part of my head where the tension is. Today my left eye has been hurting as well, and the headaches have been more icepick.

I’m extremely worried that it’s a tumour and not just stress, I became depressed in 2015 alongside tinnitus and have bottled it up. I’ve been getting worse memory and have had behaivoural changes in that time.

I feel like this all suggests a tumour. I have been using dr Google so that’s why I’m so worried. I’m going to the GP tomorrow but I’m afraid they won’t take it seriously and will treat it as just anxiety.

Should I be worried.

Thanks for reading.

Didn’t know what category to put it in.
