    Is this anxiety, a brain tumor, or something else?
    I'm so scared that I might have a brain tumor. I always get get this pain in the right side of my head and in my neck. I also have ocd and I feel fatigue constantly. One month ago, I went to my doctor and I told him my symptoms. He gave me a test and also sent me for a blood test and thankfully everything seemed to be normal. I went back to him a few days ago because I'm experiencing things like a weak tongue, numbness and pain in my hands and legs, and similar things. He doesn't really seemed concerned, but he's thinking about sending me for a CT scan. I'm not sure whether he might me sending me because he wants me to relax or if there is another reason. What do you think? Do you think I might have a brain tumor? Can a blood test detect tumors in the brain? Is this anxiety? A new symptom I have is this shaking I have and I get dizzy sometimes. I also do have a history of Ocd which I have and Depersonalization disorder and I do stretch a lot.

    We can no more answer your questions, then the man on the moon, my dear. We do not diagnose here for obvious reasons, when you think about it really, how can we not knowing you, can't see you,don't know your medical history.

    He is sending you for a catscan because he is doing his job properly, wanting to detect anything amiss in your brain; if that doesn't show up anything, ask for an MRI, but go with the flow and do anything your doctor says if you want a proper diagnosis from him.

    You need to get the cat scan. It could be a number of things from a pinched nerve to stroke symptoms to cancer or anything.
