Suffering from headache at the back of left head for 5 days , some diarrahea and am feeling alot of anxiety. had bloods tests and chest x-ray done 2 days ago, but headache is still there and am getting more anxious, also I have a CTscan appt.for the morning. Could this be a Brain Tumour..?
Hello. I am Chat Doctor. I have read your message. I think I can help you. First, I don't think this is brain tumor. The brain tumor patients do have headache and vomiting. But it is for a long time, not for 5 days. So try to relax. That itself may reduce your headache. The way you have described the headache, one-sided, probably pulsatile is suggestive of a migraine. This may be associated with a feeling of apprehension or anxiety. And loose stools do occur with migraine. However, a CT scan is still needed. It would be prudent to talk about therapy after scan especially since you have it soon. Meanwhile, take some painkillers and antiemetic. A simple Pantoprazole with paracetamol may help you for the time being. I have tried to make it as simple as possible. Feel free to contact me for further clarification on any point. Best of luck,
