hi,
i had headaches for probily since april. it is on top left of my head, sorta dull and on my forehead. it feels like a line from the back of my head to the left top to my forehead. it is sorta the same on the right side. i went to the doc. and he said he didnt think anything was seriously wrong. he gave me allegra thinking it might be sinus. the allegra doesnt work really and i have been worried this is a tumor for like the last 2 months... its all i think about. it hurts when i press on certain areas on top of my head then it gives a sensations to my noise. i dont know what that means. i am terrified and i am praying about it daily. i dont want to die only 16. i went of a plane in april and i felt head pressure of top of my head. has anyone had this?? plz can someone shed some light and confort on this subject?

Have your parents take you to a neurologist because they specialize in headaches.
The neuro will more than likely order a Cat Scan, MRI & EKG to rule out tumors & heart problems.

I am assuming you are dealing with a "family" physician. It's best to always get a 2nd opinion & sometimes a 3rd when you start questioning the original diagnosis.

Dear Very Scared,
When I read your letter I thought I was reading my own words. I too have a dull sometimes sharp pain on the left side of my head. It started in April and I am still having trouble today. I am an 18 year old girl and I too am terrified that it's a tumor or something serious. I hat a CT scan and it came back normal. I now have an allergist appt to see if allergies to something is causing it. If I get no answers there i am going to request a referral to a neurologist. I understand your worry and stress, but let me tell you from experience that it won't help anything. I was scared to death to go get the CT exam but after it came back normal it gave me some relief. I recommend you go and get some tests done, and then your mind will be put at ease. Keep me posted on how you are doing and I will do the same.

hello im ashley and i also am 16 years old. i have headaches since may but they havent been horrible bad.. only sum times.. i have the same headaches on top of my head in front... its really bad and im horrified that i might have a tumor as well... but i just wanna tell you that you dont have to worry about. have you looked up symptoms of a tumor???? i have but i really dont have symptoms of it. for all you know it just could be sinuses.. dont think about the worst... you might be stressing over it so bad that it makes it hurt even more. and if the doctors give you some kinda sinus medican like amoxicillian.... and its not doing anything dont worry amoixacillain does crap. just keep your head up high... and go get it checked out... hope that helps you a little take care.
