Hi,

I have a doctors appointment this afternoon and I'm a little worried about tests they may do. I have ASD and it makes going to the doctors really hard and scary, I usually avoid them but I've been getting headaches (pressure) especially at night I can't lay my head down anymore and extreme dizziness and balance problems. And I'm also getting pain in my jaw so I guess it does need to be checked. I'm only 25 so still young but cancer does run in my family so I think it's safer and better to be checked out with this.

I've left it quite a long time so I'm worried about the outcome but I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will all be ok.

I'm scared of going to the doctors and having any blood tests. I read up on other tests like MRIs and that terrifies me I'm not sure I'll be able to cope with a brain scan.

I'm very worried about having to go to hospital and stay there. I went in to hospital last year because of an infection and it was horrible experience I had to stay the whole night.

My dad is coming to the doctors with me and I'm really glad for that but I am still worried and already panicking.

I really hope it's not a tumour and is something else but I have a feeling deep down that's telling me that I'll get bad news at the end of this.
