I've been having this really stressful battle with the idea I have brain cancer and no one is listening to me. Which Im convinced is true.

The Symptoms I have HAD are

- Floaters (I sit on my computer 24/7 as well and I never really had floaters outside of it I dont think)

- Headaches (If I dont think about it it usually doesn't happen. Its the first thing that occured. I had these nauseous headaches/vertigo and googled and WOOP! brain cancer!!)

- Fatigue (of course its probably not related to it. but did have really bad fatigue that wouldn't help me get up

- Sleep Problems. I would feel tired so I would sometimes try sleeping more and I usually feel really crappy sleeping more because of how unnaturally tired I am.

Here is the most concerning ones I've had.

- 3 - 15 second tinnitus. it literally occurs randomly. no schedule but it appeared more out of nowhere.

I also speculate I could be having auditory hallucinations. Hearing my name called in a crowd when they aren't. ETC weird noises in pitch dark. you get it

- Dialated pupils My pupils most of the time are dialated. I dont know if its anxiety but Its really confusing me the most. Its scary to think that i'm dying of a brain condition

I proabably would have stage IV because of how freaking untreated it is. I have been having these problems for months. seems even though when i stop thinking about them. The vision and anxiety takes me over.

So far I even developed minor IBS because of it. Is there medication for this? am I going insane?

hi andreus. welcome. 1. get off that computer and get some fresh air and natural light, this will aide with your headaches and auditory issues. you are over stimulating your brain with intense stimuli, moreover the light coming from the computer will cause headaches and sleep disturbance and insomnia as it is over stimulating your brain, can't shut down, and that is what you need as well. to shut down.

2. brain cancer is rare.

3. talk with ya doc. they are the people who diagnose!! 4. anxiety causes a lot of things, including irritable bowel. but could be a separate issue.

5. coping skills are really helpful. meditation, breathing exercises, mindfulness etc. others will pop in with more info, and that of health anxiety. treatments and coping skills do aide in curbing the intensity of anxiety.

6. you are not alone. we care.

HT has nailed this for you, and he is right, this is so rare getting hit by lightening is better odds. Peace
