Signs of Brain Tumor?

I started getting this weird head pains last Sunday where it felt like someone was pressuring the back of my head on the right side. I thought it was just stress related as for the past 3 weeks I was under heavy anxiety and stress ( I was stressing about numerous medical problems) . So likely I looked up head pain feeling and I came across brain tumors and I have been stressing ever since. Along with the head pain I feel pressure on my forehead at times and my ears feel a little clogged. I went to my doctor and he believes a slight sinus infection as I don't feel the head pain when I bend forward. So is there any need to worry about a brain tumor or am I stressing out over nothing. Also people have said morning vomiting was a sign of a tumor and during week 2 of my stress 24/7 phase I did vomit twice in the mornings and on the 3rd I held back the urge to vomit and I haven't felt morning nasuea si

Anxiety itself can cause the headaches and nausea - creating a catch -22 situation.
Not all brain tumors cause the same symptoms (my cousin has a cancerous brain tumor - never got a headache). Brain tumors are pretty rare so the doctor you saw would look for signs in your eyes and reflexes. You have to rule out the common before the rare so I would go see an ENT and eye doc and get all that ruled out first. I get tons of sinus issues and don't feel it when I bend over so...

Get the testing you need - I would doubt you have a tumor you just need to have the symptoms looked at and set your mind at ease.
