Hi,

Ever since last august i have noticed that i don't feel as well as usual, my asthma seemed to be playing up more and i felt quite down, yet i couldn't understand why. Until about march i made regular visits to the doctor, as i always felt ill but the doctor would do a routine checkup and say i either had a infection or my asthma was just playing up and would either tell me to rest or give me anti-biotics. During this period i also experienced a number of headaches.. although they were not severe, i felt like i had quite a heavy head and it always felt like just behind my ear was swollen and thats where i usually felt heaviness. As i am a hyperchondriac i always think the worst and was convinced i had a brain tumour, althought i don't think my symptoms are severe enough but i was too scared to tell the doctor incase he sent me for a scan. Instead after yet another visit, he sent me for my first blood test and my results all came back fine. He just thinks i worry to much. However, i don't know if it anxiety or stress but now nearly a year on i still suffer from a heavy head and my asthma is still quite bad at times. I also get worried i have a heart defect as my heart races at times.

I know this may sound stupid but i really need to know what is wrong with me and i really need opinions from other people. I don't feel as healthy as i used to and i don't know whether its to do with a brain defect, or if n e of my problems are causing these headaches. There just always seems to be something wrong with me.

Also.. when i get these headaches i sometimes feel like there is a pain in my mouth as well as a vague pain in my ears.

I'm sorry about the length and again i could be just worrying but i need reassuring.
Thanks

Hey I've Been Dealing With The Same Thing For Over 15 Years And Its No Fun, Ive Had All Sorts Of Bloodwork "nothing" Right Now Im Seeing A Nero. For The Headaches. I Do Have Alot Of Anxiety And It Will Make Things Seem Worse Than What They Are! The Only Thing They Have Found Wrong With My Head Is Always Sinus And Inner Ear Infections And You Symptoms Sound Like Mine.to Ease Your Mind I Would Ask For A Ct If It Persist, Ive Had Plenty. Just Try Not To Worry About It And Relax Some Or Do Something Distractive And See If It Helps. That Seems To Help Me, I am not a doctor but the jaw pain and the ear pain sounds like a on going infection, and its possible the racing heart could be anxiety. I Really Dont Think Its Any Thing Major.good Luck, Hope Things Improve For You!!
