Seriously needed this and you’ve helped me so much with my health anxiety.. THANK UUUUU!!
Anxiety is real, but the fact that real diseases exist, how can you NOT worry a bit … Life has it’s stresses ….
To know that I’m not the only one feeling daily headaches for months on end, and that sense of brain fog is incredibly comforting. I have an appointment tomorrow to be scanned, but this has me feeling comfortable enough to fall asleep. I can’t thank you enough.
How are you ?
What did the scan say??? No tumour???
@@louisbryant3602what did it say?
I'm only 14 ever since I had heart palpitations that was supposedly due to low vitamin d I've been fearing heart attack I've finally gotten over that now I keep having these head sensations making me think I have a annueryism or brain tumor this video really put me at ease thank you
Are you well now I suffer from same in age of 16 plz reply
This is a fantastic video (again), so glad you talk so openly about H.A
You're seriously helping so many people
Omg I needed this. You are my best friend.
This video has finally put this stuff to rest for me!!!! Thank you very much dear. Bless you
Hello Cherelle, your videos are very reliefing for me because you are more anxious than me. Thank you so much. You help so many people
wow, ty for this video. the light flashes scared me with the headaches. Thank you soooo much.
I just love you. Health anxiety is ruining my life. Thankyou for talking so candid about this and your videos are helpful 🖤
Didn’t have any symptoms until last week. Out of no where I got super dizzy and light headed. Turned into a daily headache, not super painful but dull. Goes away when I don’t think about it comes back when I think about it.
Experiencing the same thing. I hope you come out of this hellish fog feeling better than before. Wouldn’t wish this feeling on my worst enemy.
What happened in the end???
@@brianna5847 what happened for you??
@@louisbryant3602 i finally got some tests done and now I’m patiently waiting for the results as best as i can. Just keeping busy to keep my mind off of things but when the pain becomes too much i take an advil and it goes away
This is literally me right now. Got a pain in my temple and now it’s a daily headache. Goes away when I’m not focusing on it aswell. What worked for you ?
Thankyou Cherelle. You are such an inspiration
I’m 26 and I feel like I relate to your thought process a lot… especially when you said about being in the MRI and HOPING for something. I’ve just had bloods done after feeling generally unwell and all whilst I was having them done, I was HOPING for them to find something. I know it’s not “normal” but with you talking about this so openly makes me feel I’m not alone 🧡
Your videos are very comforting 💙🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing this video. It was very informative.
I’m a 56 old man and I’ve had anxiety most of my adult life. Good to hear you explain your symptoms. I’ve never had the tumor thing. Mine is respiratory. And vision issues. The respiratory is nasty feel like I can’t breath then major panic hits ect!! Then covid sure didn’t help 😳
Thanks for the videos
This video really helped me. Thank you
Does anyone else get sudden waves of anxiety or just feeling really weird? This scares me so much and just makes the anxiety that much worse. I CANT RELAX!!!
That's me for like two weeks now.
Yes i’ll just be sitting there and it happens.
If you feel like you are not real, it's a disorder called dpdr, (wich i had), it also causes existential thoughts that make the condition worse. Just accept the symptom and youll feel better (it can be confusing at first, but it is a normal brain defense when you have anxiety)
Isn't these types of videos just keeping our anxiety alive? The reassurance that this video gives me is just the thing that my CBT psychologist is advising against.
I will say though that the video that you made about "Why you dont have ALS" really helped me to see how unlikely it was and that my spasms was just something that would come and go. So thank you for that!
Tbf looking for reassurance constantly does keep anxiety alive, but usually that’s like asking workmates, family and random people, but it’s good reassurance from the right people, eg doctors, mra scan s even therapists, unfortunately some people with bad anxiety will say maybe the scan missed it, maybe the doctor s lying lol maybe the therapist s lying etc etc, sometimes you just have to say why would great technology lie, what benefits would a doctor have to lie just have to believe 🤣👍
My thoughts are completely related to your thoughts, in 2018 I reached the end point of my life because I had a brain tumour, at that point I thought that I was no longer, but after a few days I went to an occasion during my occasion I had no symptoms of brain tumour at that point I thought that it's only a problem of health anxiety, 2021 this year I am going through this problem again but after watching this video and the most important point if this video is the last one The video's final point assisted me in overcoming my belief that I did not have a brain tumour.
Thank you for this 🙏
OMG this helped me so much thank you!!!!
thank you so much for this
I must of watched this video everyday for the past 2 weeks, it helps me for a few hours so i thank you for that. Unfortunately i cant convince my doctor for a ct scan he is totally focusing on my health anxiety but i cant seem to put this one to bed to allow me to start healing 😢
I am 22 and have always had anxiety when it comes to experiencing new symptoms. Two months ago I experienced slurry speech and unfortunately it was something sinister: I had a brain bleed due to some congenital blood vessel problems in the brain that I never knew of (stroke in other words), and eventually underwent brain surgery. Now that I am recovering I have been extra anxious when I am faced with additional symptoms (headache / dizziness / jaw pain / muscles twitches etc), cuz two months ago the very worst scenario did happen, and as a medical student who hasn't graduated, it just makes matters worse because I would easily link up symptoms to very debilitating condition eg recurrence of the blood vessel problem, late complications of surgery. I am having my neurosurgical followup this afternoon, I will tell everything to my doctor and fingers crossed I don't have to stay in the hospital for further checkup TT
Any update? I hope you are ding well!
Did you feel weakness one side of your arm
Oh my god... I like how you mentioned the tom Parker The Wanted part because that was EXACTLY how my health anxiety first got triggered. I remember reading about it and boom the next day I started having those weird symptoms. 😐 I've never really told anybody that but that's how it actually happened....
God bless you for that,I've been having headaches for days and I feel a bit of relief because it has only been headaches and a bit of dizziness
Hi quick question, but where was the location of your headache? Mine is usually in my temples ( specifically the left side ) that sometimes would radiate to the top as well as the back 💔...
And also did you get yourself checked out ? If so , I hope you wont mind me asking but what was the result?
@@Gurlonmarzyou can get it all over your head. your whole head, one side, one sore eye, one side of your jaw could be tense. lower head, middle, top, all over. it’s anxiety
I’ve had right-sided headaches for 3 months (constant), and developed blurry vision in my right eye. I thought it was sinus issues, but a CT showed no problems with my sinuses. I’m freaking out because I lost my brother at 55 to brain cancer. I have a CT of the head on 8-5-24. Trying to remain positive. Thank you for this video. Hoping that it is noting.
I have had headaches for three years but nurses just say it’s tension and all my bloods always come back fine. Are CT scans scary and can they cause any side affects from being in a machine. 😊
The seizures, were my thoughts to a possible brain tumor. Started back in May of 2020 , that actually caused me to wreck while I was driving, prior to this accident there were no history nor knowledge of me having seizures even in childhood. Had a clean bill of health with the us .army when I joined. Served during the Iraq war and the global war on terrorism after 9/11 . Was home for about 9 yrs and just had turned 39 , then boom out of now where seizure . Then four months later another one in front of my mother , we were having a conversation, then stopped and rolled of my chair to the floor and started convulsing , enough to put carpet burn on the right side of my face. Three years later I'm still having seizures they are more complex focal seizures (unaware ). Experiencing just about every seizure in the book not consistent with the same kind when I have them. I have them in my sleep sometimes. Headaches are sometimes in morning when I wake up if not it's later in the day. Always have headaches after a seizure.
Smh. I had a cat scan done last month and now I'm back on the brain tumour worry thinking they had to have missed a mini tumor in my brain smfh 🥺
Same here I want a MRI but they won't give me one because they say that they physically can't refer me for one
this video helped out a lot to calm me down. mri is in 5 days and i’m nervous about the results but i have a strong feeling this is all anxiety.
I m 23years old i m from Nigeria I have been having fosters and flashes of light with headache l have been scared until I watch this video I also have tinnitus but I think it is cause by Tmj because I start experiencing it after I cracked my jawbone thanks a lot I really needed this video I love u so much 😘
we need one of these but for lymphoma !!
I also think that i have a brain tumor and its ruining my life :(
Me too! It’s taken over my life, the intrusive thoughts are constant.
What are your symptoms?
My symptoms of me thinking I have a brain tumor is facial twitching and head pins/needles at night only
I know this pain
Same here it's the worse
I messaged my radiologist from my mri and begged him to look at the footage again after been given a clear. He emailed me that he will next week. Now I feel like I am once again stuck and can't do anything until I hear from him again. I noticed myself even doubting the mri and needing reassurance again.
How do we break safety behaviours ? Do you have a video on this ? I'm desperate to feel safe in my own body; this is destroying me daily 😢
Google gives you anxiety
Do you have chronic back pain that you thought was a tumor? I've had chronic back pain since 2020 that started in my lower back. About 1 month ago I reached for my phone twisting and heard a pop. Now I have lower back pain, mid back pain and upper back pain. I have had all the concerns you have discussed so I know for a fact that I have health anxiety. But now I'm convinced that I might have a spinal tumor. Any thoughts on that?
I have Health anxiety....and a BT....IS my fear right now! i hate it...ive felt dizzy this whole week....i had a MRI in 2015 but that was 6 years ago. something could of grown...no headaches but im still freaking out...my body feels weak too...anyway thank u for this vid.
I have been dizzy too and headaches this whole week. I had an mri for neck and headaches like 6 years ago too. I guess headaches and dizzy are common with anxiety. I am extremely stressed. It is just hard to get to work like this and drive when I wake up with a headache every morning. It did go away when I went on vacation and took an extra week to come back. My neck is tight and that is common with anxiety too. I hate it.
@@julievanzile2482 bruh are you alright now
@@balasurya3092 still having it. Not as bad. Ent was useless. I have neurologist referral but I might not bother. Headaches aren't as bad. I think I am just high high stress right now and have accepted it. I do feel better of I drink wine or alcohol that is why I think it is stress or anxiety
@@balasurya3092 still dizzy sometimes. Some days worse than others. I know this is common anxiety symptom
So So I had MRIs and brain scans but I do get double vision and tension headaches but they say my head is fine and I suffer with health anxiety
I'm so worried about this right now 😭
Sameee im suffering for almost 2 weeks of my headache it usually feels like an ice pick from the forehead that sometimes radiates to the back 💔
Btw how are you feeling as of now?
I had “seizure-like activity”, where I would collapse and jerk for about 30 seconds. This happened twice. I went to the doctor a couple of times and they told me that these episodes don’t seem like actually seizures. More like convulsive syncope due to standing up too fast, which causes a drop of blood pressure and dehydration. It’s been 3 months since the last time this happened but I’m still convinced it’s a brain tumor. Even though there was only 6 weeks in between the 2 episodes so I’m 3 months free so I had definitely improved but health anxiety won’t leave me alone. Any advice?
Do you get a pressure like feeling in the side of your head just above the ear ?
I’m stuck in the brain tumour rabbit hole atm it’s stopping me living my life. My symptoms are eye twitching and skin crawling on face. Not constantly 😢
Hi how are you now?
Are you better? My eye twitched for 8 months after a really stressful time un my life. It eventually stopped and hasn’t return in two years :) crawling in my face and head also happens when I get anxiety
@@nutrirebyanaluarrivillaga2646 been a lot better for the past couple months, still have the occasional crawling though on my head mainly but the eye twitch stopped I get it in the other eye but nowhere near as strong! Hope you’re feeling ok I’m not as worried anymore it’s when my anxiety is high
Hi, how do you get one either a CT or MRI? I’ve been feeling many of these symptoms for about a month and a half now continuously and I’m starting to get worried to the point where only a confirmation will put me at ease. What should I do?
does anyone have this feeling of dropping or like an elevator going down feeling for a little while?
I'm going through the brain tumour journey right now for the 2nd time, my symptoms are random head pains and getting dizzy spells but no doctor will let me have a CT scan to put my mind at ease. I get dizzy for no reason when I'm not anxious and have pressure and I'm not anxious at the time. I hate this feeling and don't know how to make it go away 😢
I have this!! Also with neck pain and bad headaches :(
I’m currently waiting on an MRI for the same investigation 🤞🏼mine is anxiety FND !!
I have severe vitamin b12 ,d and maybe magnesium deficiency..so I feel dizzy inside my head but I stand correctly…so I’m worried if that’s a hint of brain tumor or is it not ??
I feel so seen I started hazing terrible panic attacks since being off lexapro 4 months now I’ve been dizzy 24/7 and migraines and headaches a lot and vision changes I was convinced I had a brain tumor got a ct scan it’s clear and still don’t feel satisfied
if I have ear fullness and eye pressure on one side along with the tension headache is that normal?
Thanks for this video by the way. I have to get a scan soon and this gave me some peace.
I have the exact symptoms how are you doing?
@@noodleverse6695 i got an mri and it was nothing so i think mine is due to tmd. im doing ok but i have on and off pain!
Anyone experience light sensitivity, burning sensation and headache kind feeling in the forehead? I got mine from bad pot trip , it gets worse when I look at screens . Hard for me to focus on things and light makes me a bit dizzy. I did MRI, CT and blood work. Nothing is wrong with me . It's almost as if iam always crosseyed , it's really weird, very scary. I keep thinking pot damaged something in my head .
YESSSSSS THE BURNING SENSATION IS SOSO SCARYYYYYYY
@@reneayyy please tell me more about how it all started and how you feel with details of you can, I am doing much better . I still don't feel myself, some days I feel like I never sleep, it's strange . I have a headache now as I am typing this, but I sat in my computer too long and didn't get a lot of sleep last night
How are you now?
@@classifiedsuser3265 mostly ok , much better . Still don't feel 100% though
Are cat scans even accurate? I got a one done in the ER cause my left side of my body went numb & the doc said there's was nothing wrong. No mass , lesion or bleeding. I'm still convinced they missed something 🥺
Dear please reply to this msg 🙏 am.from.india am suffering from anxiety but i have so many doubts weather i have ms or brain tumours or somthing else i dont what i have to do i have vitamin d defficiency also so doctore said this defficiency causes anxiety i have tingling feeling in al over my body not just face but my keft keg have continueus heart beat sensation i dont know what to do with this why it came to please tell me what to fo how to deal with it how can i cure it
I'm think I've got melanoma even though the doctor said it was just a wart and could be frozen off
Hello... I just want to thank you sm... I have been having the same symptoms which you had and including some dizziness at times... Seriously you are an angel sent by god in disguise... I was literally stressing too much about this fear... But god sent me this video and now i am feeling a lot relaxed. I am yet to go visit a doctor about this but this video calmed me a bit... But i have one doubt. I am having myoclonic jerks. Is it a seizure? Pls tell me. Thank you :)
How was your doctors visit
@@srihit1248 it was actually not so complicated... He said that it's just stress....
I use to have jerking like when I lie down my legs just jerks it happens once in a while and it just put me off and like I have like a lump on my head to so all these things put me off I went to the doctors earlier nothing was wrong then the headaches and pressure on the eyes started hitting me
How are you know?
My headaches come from my anxiety. Which are tension headaches. I take Nortriptolyne and it fuckin sucks bc I’ll get a migraine 4 times a week from stressing. I have DP as well and it does NOT HELP. I just have to accept it and live.
Im only 17 im an amateur boxer i have health anxiety and literally obsessed with the worst sport ever constantly worrying about my brain but i just love boxing too much!!😡
dont do it one punch in a head where its not safe and you can end up on a wheelchair or dead
With the numbness and tingling I constantly think about stroke or MS
Do you mean numbness in your brain? If so you aint alone 👍
@@itNickyYThow are you feeling now? Plus did you get yourself checked?
Has anybody had a dullness in the left temple and neck ? It also moves to the right but they never hurt at the same time. Let me know
I’ve had a headache every evening and my head feels warm for 4 days straight and I’m not sick and it’s stressing me so nsd
What happend
I have a question, are most brain tumors maligant?
I suffer from this very bad, I get super worried because for the past month or so I have been struggling with bad anxiety. I have symptoms like weird sensation in head or like tightness in head when I squint. Usually my forehead area is sore or like a weird feeling. And I would feel nauseous sometimes and everyday I would deal with it, and I wish I could go back in time to when I wandt worried and I was just living life, now I am dealing with this everydya and I am conceived I have brain cancer or brain tumor but I am not even sure.. which worries me.. my mom said it’s mental and that I don’t need to see a doctor but I am not sure.. Has anyone ever had these symptoms before with there anxiety? Head pain, Weird feeling in head, When you squint ur head hurts, Nauseous and other things.. and I am always worried everyday if it’s something serious… What do you guys think? What should i do?
Camryn i was diagnosed 1 year ago with anxiety disorder, my symptoms were super annoying like balance problems, blurry or tunnel vision , tingling, numbness, dizziness, no concentration and so many more after visiting a psychiatrist i took a medicine wich helped me so much after taking it 8 months I decided to stop it , ive stopped it but now my symptoms are getting back so o took an appointment to renew my medicine .
@@reinezeinddine8512 can you pls give name of that medicine
@@reinezeinddine8512 did you also feel nauseous?
@@skinncosmetics1979 i cant describe it to you because it should be told by the doctor please see a psychiatrist amd it will be ok
@@Gurlonmarz yesssssss ! It was vert annoying
Sorry. Didn't listen to the whole thing. But.
I have had a brain tumour.I was 19 when it was discovered. The warning signs that I really shouldn't have missed were:
Change of my personality and behaviour. Not keeping myself clean. My thinking was 'wrong'.
Lost ability to learn anything. Fatigue. Shocking headaches.
There are a large range...very large range of symptoms. Get them checked but it is unlikely to be serious.
I didn't back then and I was lucky.
That was 41 years ago.

I won't say more as I also have health anxiety now and the last thing you need is a horror story.
Could you share some more symptoms? I have anxiety but am experiencing some problems with my hands hurting and feet hurting. One side of my head hurts also when i move it. I don’t get headaches that often but i do get mild pain in one specific area every day.
@@SaraLevins I'd rather not, as I mentioned in my post. Not really appropriate on a site that helps people with anxiety.
Sorry for late reply.
Those symptoms are not really an issue (opinion only).
They are quite common and I have similar problems from time to time.
The symptoms are so wide ranging too. A visit to a doctor occasionally is fine. I wouldn't during covid due to anxiety about catching the disease.
I just stopped behaving normally. But head pains are common too, remember most of them are normal. The headaches for me were so intense I couldn't stand up.The final straw that put me in hospital was seizures. I remain epileptic today.
I’ve had headaches for 4 days
Thanks
something was picked up on one of my eyes exams when I was eight, so I had to have a brain scan, thankfully it is not cancer (this is part of a health condition) I have,. I have had to have brain scans every 2 to 5 years to monitor it, the lump/spot or whatever it has got smaller, unless I am getting symptoms like seizures etc. where I would have to get a scan as soon as possible. I know I should not google about my condition, I got a small increase of getting a brain tumour
I get temple headaches, Nausea, and diarrhea! I’m still kinda scared.
How are you now
@@Kim-ss5bb I’m ok
@@Mama_Bear88 did you get yourself checked? Also how long did your headache last???
@@Gurlonmarz it lasted probably a week. And yes I Did.
@@Mama_Bear88 if you don't mind me asking what were the results ? (If you can still recall hehe) Also it's good to hear your doing good. 💕
I'm super scared right now ,
There's this pain in my head, especially in the top left forehead and it's really painful (like its heavy or being drilled ), along with my left eye( which radiates to the right eye sometimes) what do you guys think it is ?
Idk what to do since we can't afford to get an MRI scan 💔
definitely anxiety, love. it can alternate to the side of your head that it wants to mess with. it can also cause tense jaw on one side. you’re okay
OMG SAME (its anxiety)
Get your vit D level checked
Can someone tell me how you get an mri i had a ct scan and that came back normal but its done nothing to reassure me, My doctors won't give me an mri
it’s probs bc u don’t have anything!
Its anxiety thats why
Ct scan will tell you clearly..dont worry
Do anyone feels something is walking in head? Is it anxiety?
Yes I feel like something is crawling inside my head or my brain it’s the scariest thing ever.
That's called derealization it's a symptom of anxiety
I really wish you hadn't mentioned potential symptoms :(
How to deal with headaches
Dont think about them and it will pass
Headaches are the most common cause of uncorrected nearsightedness (myopia). It can occur anywhere in the head and it's all quite normal . I went to the optician for an eyetest and was prescribed with diverging lenses. Now, I don't experience headaches.
Sometimes, these are related to eye defects
First view first like and first comment!!
🤍🤍🤍🤍
Did your anxiety ever affect your ears?
I get ear fullness and dizziness
I've been convinced on and off I had some sort of pituitary tumor. 😂 But mainly not because of headaches.
Now I'm worried about having an adrenal tumor, even though I probably don't have one. 😂
i didnt know seizures was like 80% of tumors.
