For the last 3 months I have been suffering from some lightheadedness. It's been generally mild but pretty constant. When it didn't go away after a week or so I contacted the doctor who said he thought it was anxiety, not surprising in the least, I've been getting a lot of physical symptoms that are just anxiety over the last few years.
Anyway, I started therapy at last to try and get things under control but so far it hasn't gone particularly well/made much difference. I had a blood test and they said they would get back to me if there was treatment needed, they didn't so I can only assume that it was all clear. For a week the lightheadedness either eased or I learnt to ignore it but in the last week or so it has come back with a nengeance. It is now accompanied by headaches that keep coming on, usually around or between the eyes, and today I slept for 12 hours and still feel tired.
I've got it into my head I have a brain tumour and I can't dissuade myself of it. I feel for certain there is something physically wrong with my brain and no one but me is taking it seriously. I tried contacting the doctors again today but they have failed to get back to me.
Am I being an anxious fool to believe there's anything wrong? Am I making the symptoms happen with anxiety or is there something actually wrong? I feel like I'm at the end of my tether here...
