Ive been feeling good for a couple of days (yes a couple of days is a long time for me), until yesterday morning. I went to take a shower and after the shower my left ear started to hurt which caused a pretty bad headache on the left side of my head....it has happened to me before but it usually clears up in an hour or two yesterday it was the entire day. Yesterday midafternoon I felt this weird feeling with the corner of my left eye, I don't know if it is my sight but Just this weird like blurry feeling. I thought it would be gone today but it is still there, any idea what this could be? Of course I am thinking brain tumor.

I had a head MRI last year which was clear but I guess anything can happen in a year and that doesn't mean anything anymore.

Try and not jump to the worst (Even though thats what I do everytime)
I would say see a doctor just to check in, and I know I have had things like this before from anxiety. my ears have been hurting inside, and I went in and they took a look, and said my ears are healthy as can be. sometimes lately I have been getting muffled hearing when I get scared or start to have a panic attack, and that only increases things. Try to stay as calm as you can, it can be hard. and do not look things up on google, google kills everyone off, even if you just had the sniffles google would tell you its something crazy when its not.

good luck ~

OMG GOD Help me I just saw an article on abcnews.com of a pregnant woman who was diagnosed with a deadly brain tumor while pregnant, of course now I am thinking this is a sign. I hate this I don't know what to do other then to push for an MRI but I dont even think they will give me one while pregnant. I saw an ENT two days ago and he looked in my ears and said everything looks fine, but of course he cannot see what inside my ears or my head.

LMD,

If you had seen an article of a pregnant woman who had won the lottery. ..would you start on a buying spree, because naturally you must be next?

Of course not, but the same 'magical thinking' applies. Just because you read something scary, it does not make it applicable to you in any way!.:)

You are absolutely fine, and just experiencing anxiety again.

Go through the Super Scanner again in the Resources. It brilliantly explains the anxiety=symptoms= more anxiety= worsening symptoms cycle.

Peace and progress! :)

I was sure I had a brain tumor once because I had these knife like pains that caused migraines. Finally discovered I had a pinched nerve causing headaches and nothing more serious!

Don't forget that stress on top of pregnancy is a lot to handle! I had a halo in my right eye yesterday and panicked like a crazy person and it turned out it was just a silent headache. Hang in there friend!
