I went through a period of really bad anxiety where I had a LOT of physical symptoms (racing heart, full body tremors, dizziness, sore neck, achy muscles, lightheadedness, floaters, could NOT sit still, 3-4 anxiety attacks a day, no more than 3 hours of sleep a night, lack of appetite, lack of concentration, lack of coordination, head pressure, pressure on the side of my face, numbness, tingling, shortness of breath, tight throat) for 2 months... I went to the ER once, urgent care once, my pediatrician like 10 times, bloodwork done 3 times, and to a psychiatrist. Everything normal except for anemia, but my latest bloodwork has shown that it's almost gone and I only need to take iron for a couple of more weeks. Diagnosed with GAD and depression, prescribed Zoloft, never took it, started volunteering with summer camp kids instead and it helped A LOT.
Now I'm a lot better, I'm sleeping, eating, and most of my symptoms have gone EXCEPT for the few that are bothering me and I'm scared I'm going to have an anxiety relapse.
I keep getting sharp head pains on the right side of my head.. they kind of really hurt and last from like 5 seconds to a couple of hours. The feeling of pressure in my head is mostly gone, but my left ear stilllll feels clogged. I also get face tingles on the left side sometimes too. My fingers and hands seem to be shaking a whole lot more and all of this combined has convinced me that I have a brain tumor. I was seriously crying about the thought today.
I'm only 17 and I'm scared to tell my mom that I want to see my doctor again because she doesn't get what anxiety is like and gets frustrated with me when I can't control it. I have another psychiatrist appointment in a month so maybe I can get him to tell my mom I should schedule something with my pediatrician but idk if I can wait that long.
Does anyone else get constant head pains like this or the clogged ear feeling? Hands shaking when not at rest? Because I made the mistake of googling it and people have said these were their symptoms when they had a brain tumor.
