Hi, I posted about hypochondria here before, but my brain worries won't seem to go away!
I've been worried I have a tumor (or general brain problem) for weeks. I haven't had severe headaches, but I haven't been able to think straight (I'll mess up words in my head) and I've felt things like goosebumps-like tingling in my head or limbs. My vision's been a bit weird, sometimes its a bit blurry and I'm nearsighted as is so it's hard to tell what's weird or not. Sometimes I feel dizzy or off balance-usually when I'm sitting upright in my computer chair for some reason. The dizziness is really worrying me, but I can't tell if it's in my head or not!
I woke up today after an anxiety-ridden sleep feeling like the back of my head was all heavy or numb. I sat up and it went away, like blood rushing out of my head. This has happened to me before--it actually happens every few months or so randomly when I wake up. I also have a tendency to wake up with numbness or tingling when I go to bed anxious or stressed. But because of my anxiety, I of course did another google and started worrying about brain trauma and tumors and all that.
My parents are insisting I'm fine. My motor skills have been basically the same, I've been able to hold conversations and read and write, and I can focus on certain things well enough. But I still feel just...odd in general. I have a doctor's appointment in a week but I'm worried something terrible is going on in my head :/ I don't know if I'm being rational or not. I just don't know what to do!
