Can anxiety Cause a contant headache?

[StaceyK]

I have major health anxiety and never been one for having headaches, but after a prolonged period of stress and loosing a close relative this headache around the temple and sides of my head had been with me almost everyday for 3 weeks. I'm convinced it must be a brain tumour but the doc says its anxiety. The only way to know is to get a scan.... ?

Just an suggestion it might be an minor migrane .

This will sound ridiculous but have you seen an optician? In my experience, eye-strain and stress are closely related, and both combined will contribute to headaches. Glasses might help with the worst of the headaches.

It's not a brain tumor. I've known people with brain tumors before. It's about a lot more than headaches. Like they have seizures and things, for instance.
