Do I have a Brain Tumor

I'm really scared I started to look up the signs and symptoms to a brain tumor and I matched some, I've seen a doctor and waiting to go back but the anxiety is killing me. I've been having severe headaches from morning to night. I get ticking in me feet and my hand all the time, dizziness, and lightheaded. short term memory loss, and forget what I'm doing all the time as the day goes on. I just don't know if I have a possible chance of having a brain tumor and what my next step should be?

Stop thinking the worst. Brain tumors are pretty rare things. Only the "lucky" few like ME get diagnosed with them!! And I don't even have headaches.

Migraines can produce all the symptoms you describe. I do wonder though if your other bodily symptoms started at the same time as you started to panic about having a brain tumor? Anxiety can mimic every condition under the sun. An anxious mind is also a distracted mind which I highly suspect is behind your memory lapses.

For now, stop panicking and avoid "symptom shopping" on the internet. And trust your doctor! He/she will tell you what your next step is. Good luck.
