Scared...Lots of anxiety

A few weeks ago, I had symptoms which I googled and was convinced that I had brain tumor. I had headaches, pressure in my skull, scalp tenderness on some points, dizziness, weird vision, tingling, twitching and restless legs.

After some time, I dismissed it all and I thought it was just health anxiety. The symptoms started to gradually decrease until many disappeared, All I was left with was a headache.

Recently, the headache is still there but the twitching has grown worse. I find myself twitching so frequently it scares me. I find my fingers and toes just moving uncontrollably. My legs and hands always spasm out of nowhere and I can't maintain the same sitting or lying position for long. Also, I don't know how to explain this, but my nerves always feel "all over the place," like I don't know what my body is going to do despite me being in control of it.

 

I am scared. I think it's a tumor and it scares me. Help.
