I am 26 and have been the same way for the past 5 years. I had a brain MRI 4 years ago because I was sure I had a tumour because I had headaches everyday that did not go away with pain meds for a year. No other symptoms and the MRI was clear.
Flash to this year, 6 months ago started nausea/dizziness/brain fog/one sided headaches. I started panicking thinking this is for real, its a tumour or growing anurism for sure. I tried everything before going to a neurologist but I got into one again and was told it was chronic migraines. I have seen him twice and am on migraine-prevention meds but I still get daily headaches and feel dizzy most days and a "dreamy" out of body feeling. The neurologist did several exams and blood tests on me and all was normal. I see him again next week and I think I need another MRI as I feel much worse than I did a few years back. I don't know what is physical and what is anxiety anymore...
