Nerves awaiting MRI results

Good evening everyone 

I hope it's okay to post on here. I am just feeling incredibly anxious and struggling to eat.

 

I have been suffering progressively worse headaches over the last 1.5 years - this last few months have been especially bad. 

The pain tends to centralise around my eyes so they did think perhaps its cluster headaches but I'm not convinced. I feel like something else is going on.. 

My eye sight is getting progressively worse - today for the first time I realise I have double vision when looking far into the distance. 
 

I am suffering a feeling of aches and fullness in the ear canal - almost earache - and on occasion, tinitus. I feel like my ear is blocked. 

On occasion I get the strangest feeling in my head - almost as if it's cold as ice

Yesterday I had an MRI - but as it's nhs I think I have a long wait await. 

I just can't stop worrying about what may be. I am 30 years old with 2 young children and of course I'm worrying about the worst possible outcome that maybe it's a tumour of sorts.

I hope it's not inappropriate of me to post here but I suppose I just need to vent

 

 

  • Hi WeeOne90.  Welcome to the forum.

    Let me reassure you that you're most welcome to share your thoughts and fears here.  It's why we're here.

    I think we all agree that waiting for results is agonising, and it's something most of us have been through, so we all know exactly what you're going through. Most of us cope by keeping busy; I suspect that more cupboards get tidied, more rooms get decluttered, and more houses get redecorated while waiting for results than at any other time.

    I won't offer any platitudes, but I'll just let you know that what you're feeling is natural and you have our sympathy and best wishes.

    Just wondering if you have yet recieved your MRI results and how they went for you? I am scheduled to have an MRI in 2 weeks with similar symptoms and am soooo nervous.
