Hey You! Before I start I am a yound teenage girl. So lately (since the beginning of April) I have had this really bad anixety and headaches. The headaches are off an on about everyother day last for a couple hours. The over the counter pain reliver stuff doesn't seem to help! I worry about everything, for example I spend about a hour a day on the computer looking at brain tumor symptoms, because I am scared I have one. I have also kind of been in a "slump" lately because my friend got diagnosed with a brain tumor and ever since then I feel like I am convincing myself into thinking that I have one too): I have gone to the doctor twice the first time they said I had sinunsitis and gave me antibiotic which helped but then I came off it and the headaches came back. I have asked my parents just about everyday to bring me back to the doctor and they say no your fine its just hormones/aniexty(my mom is a er nurse so she thinks it is no big deal and nothing is wrong!) So yesterday I had a GI bug (throwing up couldn't keep liquids/food down) so then my parentss finally brought me to the doctor! I was super worried after crying for about 30 minutes thinking I had a brain tumor since I have 2 of the tumor symptoms. After crying I finally got to talk to the doctor and she put me back on sinunsitis antibiotic and told me that the vomiting had nothing to due with the headaches and it is hormones, lack of sleep, etcc. She told me to keep a "headache journal" eat healthy, sleep a lot, and call her once a week and let her now how I am doing! So now I feel okay just still have really bad aniexty. I talk to my parents about it and they say your okay don't worry about it, but it is just immposibble not too! I AM SUPER SORRY I TYPED THIS MUCH, I Didn't EVEN NOTICE! WELL PLEASE ANSWER. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
