I'm sorry you're experiencing this. aneurysms don't typically cause symptoms until they rupture and at the point it would be a true medical emergency - you wouldn't be posting on the internet if that was what was going on. i also think it's highly (highly) unlikely that you have a brain tumor... not only is brain cancer fairly uncommon, its not likely you'd go from clean mri to tumor big enough to produce symptoms in 2 1/2 months.

your symptoms can easily be caused by anxiety and you're here so clearly that's an issue for you. are you currently treating that?

it's great to hear you're seeing a psychiatrist. may i suggest seeing a talk therapist as well? they can give you a lot of great advice and provide you with some cognitive tips and tricks to keep your anxiety in check.

klonopin is great in a pinch, say, when you're in the middle of a really bad panic attack but it should be taken sparingly because it's addictive and because you can build up a tolerance to it if you take it frequently.

My Great Aunt had a brain aneurism and she had zero symptoms you’re describing—zero! My Dad had cancerous brain tumors and did not have those symptoms either. If you had brain tumors, the MRIs would have detected them. Anxiety is a horrible, horrible thing. I’m so sorry you’re worrying so much, and, I can totally relate because I’m always fixated on symptoms, too.
Since I know it’s hard to fully believe anything positive when your mind is in panic overdrive, I want you to know that both my Dad and Great Aunt survived.
