Help!

Ugh well I don't even know where to start. First I am terrified that I have a brain tumor or brain bleed that is causing me to feel like I am on the verge of losing my mind and losing touch with reality. Me being a nurse really doesn't help because I am constantly self diagnosing. I find myself constantly looking up my symptoms. My docotr has told me that it's only Anxiety from the normal bllod work and physical that I have had. However, I have not had a Ct or MRI done and she doesn't think it is necessary as I am not having any headaches or other symptom that would warrant such testing. I feel like at least for piece of mind for myself to know that everythong is ok it should be done. I have tried going to the ER and they just do blood work and monitor my BP and do a EKG all to tell me that ok. I have no physical anxiety symptoms only mental. But I want to know for sure that it is Anxiety. She has put me on Zoloft 50mg and Kolonopin .25 mg PRN. I am afraid to take the Zoloft but I have taken the PRN a few times which has helped. I guess I just need some reassurance that I am not going crazy or dying. Any feed back would be so greatky appreciated. Thanks

Anxiety isnt derived from a brain tumor thats the anxiety part you are over thinking it..a brain tumor u can die from you cant die from anxiety girlie. .anxiety is either genetic or is caused by stress or if you have problems with your thyroid
