I need help please respond?

So for the past few months, i have been having some strange symptoms:
1) Headaches (not every day, only sometimes)
2) Lightheadedness/Unstable feeling while i am walking. (everyday)
3) My head feels like it is in a box kind of pressury
4) I have been seeing some floaters and colorful light flashes before my eyes (doesn't largely affect my vision and no seizures....i don't think....)
5) Ear ringing sometimes randomly throughout the day (i am a musician however. and i go to a bunch of shows)
6) Horrified feeling of having a brain tumor ALL the time!!!
7) I have some trouble concentrating because I am ALWAYS worried about what's wrong with me.
It all started around Christmas, my brother's fiancee passed away. I started to feel a little bit odd all of the sudden, and from then on I started feeling like I "didn't exist". I started feeling strange symptoms and had headaches and everything. Funny thing is, I wasn't extremely affected by her death, I didn't know her all that well.
I need opinions, i am afraid of a brain tumor. All these symptoms came on suddenly, and I can't even tell if they are getting worse, I am so worried. I DID go to the doctor, in fact, I have been about 10 times already. I am getting a second opinion in 2 weeks, but I went through these tests:
-Blood, Urine
-Chest xrays
-EKG
-CT scan (no dye)
my doctor says they all came back perfectly fine.....but i still feel odd. he said they saw "something" in my sinuses, told me there were NO tumors, and he said we could try some antibiotics (which we did) and i thought they worked, but now I just feel the same again.....I am so scared, any advice/thoughts???? please as many as possible....

Hi- I think that it might be good to call the doctor that you saw and get clarification about what he saw. Then you can bring this up at your next appt.

It might be that you are grieving your brother's fiancee and it is causing you to have physical symptoms too that is like a mild PTSD.In that case, you might benefit from seeing a counselor for a few sessions just to talk about it and explore if this is somehow part of it.
Good luck!

I recommend going to an ear, nose, and throat specialist, for your sinus issue and your offbalance problem (get your vestibular system checked out).  With the eye symptoms- if multiple floaters and flashes of light occur at the same time- go to an opthamologist right away.  If they aren't all occuring at the same time, I'd still get my eyes checked out by an opthamologist.  Floaters a lot of time get worse later than your age, but I had a number of floaters in my 20s myself.  I also had flashes of light before a migraine.  Some people can get the aura without getting the headache (something to talk to the opthamologist about).   Stress can often cause all sorts of physical symptoms, including increasing your blood pressure- has that been checking out fine?

Colorful, flashy light sounds like migraines or the aura before migraines.

And if you are worried, you have stressed yourself to a point where the stress may be the problem, especially when you have had some terrible events happen in the family.

In the sinus, they are likely polyps. but you can go to the imaging place and get a copy of the report.

An eye exam can show brain tumors, but if you already had a CT scan, even without contrast, you should be fine.
