Still convinced it's a brain tumour
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hello,
i've recently been diagnosed with health anxiety and have been put on sertraline which is making me feel less panicky but I am still having wierd symptoms in my head and neck. My glands in the neck are swollen and i have a headache every day and also get strange feelings on the top of my head like burning, shooting pains and tingling. My neck constantly aches and is tender. The doctor has done general blood tests that keep coming back fine but I want more than anything to have a brain scan so I can move on, but the doc doesnt think I need one! I've been feeling like this for around 4 months. Has anyone else been through a similar thing, especially with the wierd head sensations? thanks, Holly

I had similar problems with my head and neck. They lasted for almost a year. The headache was horrible and I couldn't move my neck normally without feeling the pain. The pain in my head wasn't always the same and sometimes I felt so weird that I was sure I was gonna die, because it didn't seem normal to experience something like that. I did all sorts of tests, but nothing seemed to be physically wrong. The doctors advised me to stay away from stress as much as possible (easier said than done), exercise more, eat healthier... It slowly got better. It was really scary and I thought for sure that nobody can have headaches like that and survive. Well, it turned out I was wrong. Amazing what anxieties can do to you... Are you drinking enough water? I'm wishing you the best of luck and I hope you feel better soon xx

I have the same symptoms as what you are experiencing rightnow. it feels like my neck is very tight and sometimes there's a tingling sensation on it and like you are carrying heavy things on your shoulder. i've been suffering almost 5 months now. i got already my MRI, blood test, nerve test, xray and came normal. hoping to discuss more with you
