Just was wondering if i could get some answers

To: Hi everyone
I have been having the same symptoms as alot of people ive seen on here and i am really worried. I have had head pressure, ear ache, worrying about a possible brain tumor, and worrying that my Ct scan may not have shown a tumor and that a MRI could.  I am 17 and i have been having head aches for the last two weeks.  I have had the head pressure which feels like my head being squished, my nose has pressure on it but its not stuffy, sharpness and fullness in my ear, my throat has felt tight like there is flem in it, i have had diarrhea, and since this has started all i have done is worried about it.  I heard that stress and anxiety could cause this.  I have also had the cat scan and been to the doctor.  I feel like the cat scan could have missed something and i want a MRI but the doctor says i don't need one.  I originally i thought this was a neck strain after my rough snowmobiling trip but my symptoms wont go away.  Also laying down makes my head hurt more and its very hard to go to sleep.  I haven't gone to school since this started because daily activities make this worse.  I was just wondering if anyone has had symptoms like this and if anyone can help me i would be very greatful
Thanks keith

I had the CT of my Spine and head done.  It didn't find anything other then liquid in my sinuses.  I've seen my regular doctor, another doctor at the same doctors office and a doctor at the hospital.  All of them say i don't need a MRI because my motor skills are fine and i don't have anything like slurred speach.  I had blood work done yesterday but there not sure what it is. Hopefully the blood work shows something so I can get this cleared up
Thanks Selma

Hi..sorry u r in such distress.What do ur parents say?I am sure if u tell ur parents they will be good advocates for u to get the following accomplished.
What kind of dr did u see...ur reg PCP?....as to see someone else a NL or NS and tell them of the accident u had....it could be u have issues stemming from it.

Was the CT of ur brain, neck or spine or all of them?
I also believe an MRI might be better, but if there is something it should  show on the CT...however if it was of ur brain and the issue is in ur spine.....well u would need another test done.

I am sure ur bowel issues could be ur anxiety over this problem, but it should be addressed as chronic issues can lead to other problems....have u been treated for this?

Please ask to see a specilaist...if ur insurance allows u to go without a referral ...do so...if ur dr will not and u need a referral...change drs.
Speak with ur parents.
Godspeed
