Fear of a Brain Tumor

[Worryingmom24]

Hello yall!

I am a 32 year old female. Never diagnosed with anything serious. For the last 6 months, I have dealt with on and off ear pain. I also suffer from migraines with auras and my vision has been disturbed by room lighting more often. About a month ago, my left ear drained just enough that I felt it and my inner ear was wet. Last night it happened again. A week ago I started having sinus pain. I have been on antibiotics recently for strep and an ear infection, but the ear issue is still there.

With in this past week of my sinus pain, I have started to feel off balance, foggy headed, and feel like I am always losing thought and short memory. I am starting to panic and keep crying on and off that I have a tumor or bacterial infection in my brain. I let it all go so long in hopes it would clear up. Some days are worse than others. I have found myself sitting here crying on and off and always thinking of it. I go to the ENT tomorrow to see what they can tell me. Anyone else feeling this way?

I get short memory too, and brain fog but it is down to problems I had since childhood. I don't think the memory problem is anything to do with your sinuses. Speak to your doctor about it. There is a herbal remedy for memory that you can try. It is called Ginkgo Biloba. It helps with poor memory and brain fog and is completely harmless.

I had a lot of those symptoms, and my doctor ordered an MRI. It came back clear, and I felt so much better! Unfortunately, my anxiety manifests as health issues, so as soon as that was off my mind, I was convinced that something else was wrong. I can’t rest until everything checks out medically, so...currently undergoing more testing. Sigh. ANYWAY, if your doctor is willing to order the MRI, do it! It gives much peace of mind, and hopefully, you can move on quickly from there. Odds are that you’re fine! Sending warm wishes your way.

How did your appointment at ENT go?
