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.

  • Hi, i know I'm two years late. But just to let you know I have a non cancerous brain tumour and my symptoms are similar to use doctors made me belive it's anxiety for years. Please be admant with the doctors more expressive and stubborn as they don't listen you know your body more than doctors! I had a brain scan MRI after years of asking! Please request an MRI and explain this problem has been happening for years put emphasis exaggerate as they don't care unless you act like your dying ! 

  • Did you get seizures I have had excruciating headaches, nausea, eye spasms, dizziness, lack of balance, fainting numbness/pins and needles in legs and feet but they have said to me because of my age (18) it is unlikely to be anything serious and I was told because I haven't had any seizures it's not a brain tumor.

  • No I don't have seizures, so please don't listen to your doctors or go to a different doctor. Depending on the size of tumour it's not necessary that all tumours give u seizures. Apprently I have had my tumour since birth and it growed  1mm every year no seizures at all .
