Hi all,
First time posting, I'm 29 and have been battling health anxiety for some time now possibly started by losing my mum to cancer at the age of 20.
Every ailment or complaint and my mind jumps to cancer.
My ear problem I've had for some time possibly years, but has progressively got more persistent.
It's the feeling of pressure in my left ear, a fullness, and the feeling of needing to yawn, swallow or stretch my jaw to release it, only for it to reappear shortly after.
My eye problem has developed over the last 2 years. I had an eye test nearly two years ago noticing a reduction in night vision with things becoming blurry only in my left eye and now my vision in general is getting worse in that eye and I've noticed if rubbing or pressing on that eye that it makes a squelching noise.
I do often suffer from a stiff neck, but is often relieved by a swift crack (yes, I'm one of them)
But with my list of symptoms and the way my mind works I fear the worse, expect it to be a brain tumour or tumour of some sort and I'm on a swift slippery slide to death.
Can someone help with a little clarity and even some insight into what it could be other than the worst case
All help much appreciated
