Hi 

I’ll start off by stating that I have really bad health anxiety, hence why I’m on here :(

Two weeks ago I started with a headache whilst at work. I didn’t think much of it as I had recently started a diet and thought maybe it was sugar/caffeine withdrawal. Painkillers helped to ease it but once these started to wear off, it came back. The following Saturday I admitted myself to A&E as the headache was persistent and I had started to feel flushed and faint also. 

I was seen by neurology who did the standard tests and said all my observations were fine. One of the doctors mentioned an MRI but this was not done and I was given migraine tablets to take away with me. 

That night, I woke with a really bad headache and my whole body was shaking/vibrating uncontrollably so I rung 111 for advice. 
I spoke to the out of hours GP who made me an appointment with my own GP who I saw later that day. He prescribed me anti depressants and referred me for a head MRI but said he wasn’t concerned. 

This was a week ago, I am still getting the headaches and have pins and needles in my left hand that sometimes spread up my arm. I have woke up a number of times to pins and needles down my left side also. After searching online, I have seen that these can all be side effects of the anti depressant but I am convinced I have a brain tumour. 

also, to add, for the past couple of years I have had episodes of dizziness/vertigo with no apparent reason. 

I don’t know why I’m reaching out on here…I suppose in the hope that someone else has experienced these things and they have turned out to be harmless and just anxiety. 

I just want this MRI appointment to come through, I’m sick with worry! 
for reference I’m 35 F
