Help me, completely over reacting (I hope!) headaches and brain tumours

[mandmsmummy]

Just that, had a few headaches worse when laying down. Period was irregular which is not like me and I've been convinced I have a hormonal imbalance for a while and put it down to perimenopause. Dr google made it worse!
Can anyone stop me going mad!

Headaches are usually one if the last symptoms of a brain tumour. Go yo gp and ask fir hormone checks and codeine!!

Well I have a brain tumour and I have never had a headache! (mine is not dangerous and I just take medication every day to control it's growth and have regular mri scans).

My main symptoms were tiredness and occasionally feeling a bit drunk weirdly. (Even though I don't drink at all).

Brain tumours are incredibly rare. Very very rare. Please don't worry.

Thanks all. I do suffer from anxiety and I know I'm being ridiculous but I lost my mum to a brain haemorrhage so I hate everything with heads.
I woke in the night two nights ago with a tingly feeling on one side of my head and this morning woke with a headache. Just really worried x

As other posters have said, headache is rare in brain tumours, I've just had one removed and I had no headaches. I do now but that's because they cut my head open!

Thanks, I know it's stupid but...

I've had tinnitus too so I'm just in panic mode.

The headache associated with a serious brain haemorrhage is normally described as a thunderclap headache, the worst headache you've ever had coming out of nowhere. The few people I've seen with one have been literally felled by it and screaming in agony.
Make an appointment to see your GP if it doesn't ease soon.

Hope you're doing ok Sauvignon.

Yes that's what my mum had and was dead 90 mins later so I know it's not that but I'm just funny with heads. Thanks all x

I'm not surprised you're funny about heads, and hope it eases soon.

Thank you xx
