Worried about brain tumour

Hello. I don't know why I'm here really. Have spoke to 3 different GPs now about my symptoms which is mainly severe headaches on one side above my left eye. I guess I'm scared because it's not normal for me and they are so painful. Not sure what to do now other than paying for an MRI 

any advice welcome :( 

  • I'm sorry for the worry these symptoms are causing Sinead and that the GPs you have seen about this haven't left you feeling reassured.

    I'm not sure from your post if you asked any of the GPs you saw if you could be referred for scans but if not, do try again, especially as you've mentioned these symptoms are persisting and not normal for you.

    If that's not possible and you would prefer to pay for an MRI, you can find out more on PrivateHealthCare UK. The Private Healthcare Information Network may prove useful as well.

    I hope it won't be long until you receive some support and advice from our members and that you're able to get some peace of mind over this soon.

    Kind regards,
