Should I request a mri scan?

It's only been a few days but I've been having really dull headaches all over my head and have gotten petechiae spots all over my face and neck, no where else. I have been feeling rlly tired- like MEGA tired more so then usual. Paying attention and focusing has gotten difficult and I feel almost in like a trance state? My whole body has also gotten weak and I have palpitations and well overall I jst feel like trash and I really do think my brain isn't at its best right now and I feel like a mri scan could really tell but ofc I'm no doctor. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

Edit: sorry I forgot to mention, I'm also having pain in my throat and a little bit of trouble swallowing

  • Hi Shaji,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about these issues you've been having. Unfortunately I can't really advise on your symptoms. I'm not sure if you've made an appointment to see your doctor yet but I would recommend doing so. They'll always be the best placed to advise based on your situation, and this will help to give you peace of mind. They will offer advice and refer for a scan if necessary.

    In the meantime if you'd like to talk anything through with our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
