Dr Joshua-
I am a 27 year old male with a huge concern. I am worried about a brain tumor. Now, I rarely get headaches and I don't think I have gotten a migraine in my life that I could remember. No vomitting or anything like that. Vision is ok as well.dizziness though one day like equalibrium was off. Heres where im concerned. The other nite while watching a movie I rested my hand on my head to support my head. When I did this it felt very sensitive, almost like a headache when I touched my skull. The location of pain is tords the back of the head,above the ear. So when I noticed that, I kept testing it out the next day. the other side of skull is completly fine with no pain at all. Im worried sick, I just left the hospitol with a kidney stone a couple of weeks back and really dont want to go back to the Dr. Is my symptom a characteristic of a tumor?
Meds im on- I am taking effexor xr 75 mgs and .5 mg of klonopin daily.
Job- I do not work in a chemical enviorment or live by power lines. i work in an office.
Ps- this may sound weird, but for years when i had a cold, which i do it seems always, I would use vapo rub in my nose and now i just looked at the directions and it states dont put in nostrils. arhhhhh i didnt think for years. also it has me concerned cause it contain an inactive ingredient called "spirits of turpentine" im freaking out DR. please help.
