brain tumor
by niamac, Aug 24, 2008 04:33AM
8 weeks ago now i began having terrible panic attacks. Symptoms included rapid,heavy heart beat, heart skipping a beat chest pains, shortness of breath, feeling as though i was about to die, feeling terrified of everything, trembling....
These panic attacks happened persistently I felt as though i was constantly in a dream like state, i felt as though i couldnt cope with anything, even the thought of brushing my teeth scared the hell out of me. I have now began feeling a strange sensation inside my head, it feels as though i have a giant bubble trapped behind my eye and at the top of my skull. This feeling is accomponied by the feeling of intense pressure inside my head and almost like a burning pain. I pop my ears continusly and shake my head from side to side which makes a clicking sensation in my head, this relieves the bubble for a minuite but it would always come back. I keep feeling as though im about to have a fit or pass out and die. I started to feel really strange!! Ive been to hospital,the doctor did some tests, reflexes, looking in my eyes, blood pressure... She said the tests were all fine and couldnt find enough of a reason to give me a brain scan.
So now im going insane!!! I have had this pressure/bubble in my head for about a week now and i cant take much more!! I cant go out, work or talk with friends, im always confused, sometimes im convinced that i cant feel parts of my face, im always so sure that im about to have a fit or hemmoridge and die, also recently my scalp feels as though its burning, i cant sleep or eat, i now way about 7 stone, i cant stop moving around and twitching constantly. Its destroying my life and my partners too. Does anyone have any advice? I keep thinking its a brain tumor or something. I really need some help.
Oh and im a 22yr old female, i take beta blockers and sometimes diazipam. I dont really drink anymore and i dont smoke. Oh and my nose has been blocked for about 4 months and have had lots of p nasal drip.

Please write back.
goodluck Abby84
If anything, the beta-blocker you are on is probably causing some of your additional symptoms--you might want to look into this. Hope you feel better soon!
Good luck and keep us posted on your diagnosis. My guess is it's not a brain tumor but related to your emotional state. If that's the case, these days they can cure crazy pretty easily. I'd take that diagnosis any day of the week over a brain tumor, sinusitis...etc.
