Hello Doc,
Im a google freak i google everything i have 3 kids and started experiencing these problems/thought since i had my first son when i was 17 years old.
1. ive always had headaches since i can remember but never really paid any attention until after my son when i had to stay focused and alert to care for him, i got nausea/vomitting, sleeplessness racing thoughts severe head aches dizzyness lightheaded so on i went to my doc tons and tons of times for them to tell me i have sinus problem then i have headaches then its Post Pardum depression and so on i finally got through that after about 3 mos was doing on still got headaches but my anxiety was controlable never on meds or anything
2. had my second son 2 years after my first was fine pregnancy/delivery did not get the whole freaked out thing after him until he was about 6 months i started seeing everything around me as a tint in color )like pink/red shaded color) that stayed with me for over 1 month i got extremly nervouse started with the vomitting/nausea no appetitte tired but restleess heart pounding a nile a minute and sweating and shaking unbelievable i tried to ignore it the first 3 weeks cause i was again scared that i had a brain tumor and was gonig to die went to the ER they did a heart test ekg i think and all kinds of blood work nerver a Ct/MRI also checked my vision sent me home with a nxiety attack no meds cause i refused im scared to take med. went on for a few more weeks got better was fine every now and then i got the tint thing in my vision but just ignored it.
3 got pregnant in sept 2007 with my 3rd son i was donig fine but had ALOT of family and relationship issues at the time of finding out then 2 weeks after finding out my brother in law  passed away so it was a stressful pregnancy but i got through it the second i went into labor i had severe anxiety attack after i had him i felt lost confused and all that which the doc said it was because of my adrenaline rush from labor.(also anther fear was having a brain anurysm with all my kids when i had to pusk thme out LOL) i laugh now but im seiously looking to have a honest opinion from a doc that dont know me
the day they sent me home before i even left i got thid weird feeling through my head i was talking to the nurse and all of a sudden i had to throw myself on the bed faace first cause i thought i was gonig to faint the sound went and everything then i got shaky, nervouse sweaty heart racing but they just rechecked my vitals and said its prol your anxiety acting up so i went home like that!!
At home i tried to forget about the weird feeling i waas having but as the first few days went on i was getting worse i was so off balance feeling that i was scared to walk hold baby even get out of bed i was weak fizzy felt disorientated nausious no headache though just a ramdom pain in the left lower part of head went to ER went to Ob went to ENT they all said its vertigo etc all thing to do with the ear all i kept asking was please give me a CT-SCAN but no noe wanted to do that cause they dont feel the need things got worse and worse and worse eventually to the point that if i turned my head even a little i felt like i was gonig to black out and had to just close my eyes and hide in my arm so i didnt feel/see that feeling it sound stupid and crazy but it was very scary that lased about almost 2 months and it was horrible then i was on zoloft for about 3 weeks per Ob and i got viciously sick vomitting the headaches set in and so on i took it as adjusting to the meds i took myself off a few weeks later cause i was feeling a little like my self again i went and got a job waitressing at friendlys and i was doing ok trying to keep busy was working alot getting tired and still caring for the kids one day at work i felt fine all of a sudden i got a blind spot in my eye that looked like the lingering of looking at a light buld ok i tried to ignore it it got worse and a little bit bigger then it looked as if i was looking in a kelidascope all these colors designs and crazt visual disterbence within 10 mins of the blind spot i called my fiance to pick me up i got home and still had it a little but more so dizzy/floaty feeling i layed down jsut to have to get up immediatly to vomit like crazy then io felt a ton better the visual thing was gone i was left feeling tired went to sleep for less then1 house to be awakened my a huge pain behind the eye and top of head it was a bad headache i sune went to my PC and he said its migraines but the one thing that i still get now to this day its just not as much lately is a weird feeling/sensation through my head like a vibrate feeling/shock kinds its weird and makes me nervouse i trully believe i have a unfound brain tumor but eye doc chiros Pc OB ENt all say no way i doubt it but what do you think i should demand some kind of test or believe them im also very scared to get the CT scan cause i m scared of the results i still get the headaches now more frequent but have not had the viion thing again and i do have TMJ that has never been treated and also scholiosis also the chiro said something about my c1 being messed up please let me know what you thing thanks so much for listening and hope you can give me some insight thanks again Jennie

I seem to be having a LOT of the same symptoms as you. They tell me it's migraines and stress. BUT the migraine medication isn't really helping and I'm really not all that stressed. I see the spots like you see (looking into a light bulb and looking away feeling). I am CONVINCED I have a pituitary adenoma, but my doctor kinda just chuckles (literally) when I tell him my symptoms and tells me to stop logging onto the internet and to just calm down--I'm not dying. I'm so frustrated and don't know what to do. Let me know if you get any answers?

   We are not doctors on this thread, but it seems obvious to me that you are having serious hormonal imbalances from something. You haven't been referred to an endocrinologist yet? You need an MRI. Get to an endocrinologist. Don't be afraid. Knowledge is power. You don't want to go on feeling like this.
My son had most of your symptoms. MRI found a pituitary tumor.

Its not a tumor. No, NO, No!
