Hi everyone. I'm going to try my hardest to explain to you what's going on.
Lately, I'm getting very afraid that I have a brain tumor. Since the beginning of May, I had this strange feeling that I was going to die. I would look up stats on the chances of being in a car accident and all kinda of strange things. My family has noticed it and they're worried. Now since about wednesday, I had the strange feeling that I'm developing a tumor. My dad has been dissapointed as well as my family that I think this way. My family says that it's because I don't do much outside of school and I let my mind wonder. I think that that is the problem, but I still have the feeling that I have it. So I went to look up the symptoms and I begin to feel them. This is why I think it's all in my head. I read that you could get a numbness or sensation in your hands or legs and i began to feel it. It's just like a light numbness. I don't feel a weakness in anything, because I lifted weights on friday and nothing was really different. But I do feel a slight diziness. This began to develop during my fear of death though. Although since I know it's a symptom of brain tumors, I've felt it more. I don't have a loss of hearing and I don't have headaches. The last headache I had was about 2 weeks ago. And I've never had a migraine. My dad says "Believe me, you'll know you have a migraine when you get it." I can't seem to concentrate on anything. My reaction time is fine, and the diziness doesn't effect that. I guess diziness can be involved with different things but I just don't know! I haven't ever had a seizure ever in my life. I can't feel confident really. I try to get my mind off it, but the thought just keeps coming back. It's like, I really just want to know from a professional or someone like someone here. I'm just not sure!!! I want to think this is all in my head, but i'm not sure.
Please get back to me as soon as possible.

I agree with your family...it's all in your head. Stop worrying and get out and enjoy life.

I'm beginning to think it too. I think it's just axiety or hypocondria. I want to sit and talk about it with my family and see if I can see a doctor just to be sure. I know I'm stronger than to just let some stupid thought of a disease run my life. But I'd just like to see a doctor or some type of therapist or something just to make sure and see. I think it might be a process. It's not like I can't just get rid of this fear and that's it. And I'd also like to ask my doctor why i'm so darn dizzy. It's not like it's a serious diziness where i'm clumsy. It just kind of makes me tired. I'd just like to know that I'm ok so I can move on with my life.
And thanks Amanda, for replying and helping me out.

It would be useful to see a doctor to keep a tab on the anxiety/hypochondria. It's probably that that is causing the dizziness and fatigue. If it's bad enough anxiety can be treated with medication.

You may also want to see a doctor and get an X-Ray, CAT Scan, or MRI. My grandfather died of a brain tumor 3 years ago, so I know what a frightening ordeal this can be.There are different types of brain tumors, some more treatable than others, but the one my grandfather died of was untreatable, and the symptoms resembled a stroke, that gradualy worsened over time. I hope everything turns out OK for you, but I have done exactly what it seems you have done, where you begin feeling symptoms because of an overwhelming fear that you have it. I'm sure you'll be fine.
