"Scared of having a brain tumour"

Yeah for some reason I think i may have a brain tumour and am quite scared. I have been getting frequent headaches and recently they've been hurting quite bad and plus i keep feeling dizzy. I member of my family died many years ago with a brain tumour and I am worried. But when i tell my parents they laugh and say i should get more sleep and not sit so close to the tv but i wear glasses. I would go doctor but chances are they'll say i just need more sleep and the waiting list for scans is quite long.

What should i do or am i just being stupid?

Cheers

Bah ive had a bad headache all day :(

Not so bad now though.

The chances of it being a brain tumour are very small (apparently), but if you don't do anything soon then there is that chance you might receive some bad news and realise that you left it too late.

My advise is go see a doctor, and tell your parents to take you seriously and that you're genuinly worried. If it isn't a brain tumour, it could be something else.

I can remember the last time I dehydrated. It was nasty, but I don't remember a headache and I went one step further...fainted

I would see the doctor. If your lucky the doctor will say it's nothing, if your very lucky the doctor could be a fit woman, if your very very lucky she could be single.

Could possibly be stress. It never helps. My dad suffers from terrible headaches that last for at least a week at a time, which were brought on by his stroke, which was probably brought on by stress!

So as well as everything else, try and be calm !

Just drink water!

me too smithy, I've had that, sharp pains in the head, temporary dizziness. it could just be stress though .... I hope.

anyone on here a doctor?

Ye, just keep the water intake high and that should hopefully sort it out. I always keep a 2 litre bottle of water in my room and usually get through one a day.

Go see a doctor either way but it could be dehydration. I get dizzy and headaches when I'm dehydrated.
