I have for a year now been suffering with physical symptoms. These have mainly been head related, such as pressure behind eyes and in my head. A pressure sensation around my head which sometimes becomes a headache. Feeling generally ill and not right, lack of energy and sleep problems. This has caused me great anxiety because i have a general fear of health problems due a number of deaths in my family due to serious health problems (cancer, stroke etc). I have been to my doctors who have done a blood test and generally seen me a number of times. They say it is anxiety/stress. I AM anxious and this has made it worse. However, i cannot believe it is not caused by a physical problem. They have put me on sertralin 100mg. Recently i have for no reason started getting the head/eye pressure and illness feeling - with no anxiety/stress trigger. I simply can't believe it is just anxiety and am now worried i have a brain tumour again. Having that on your mind every day is awful. Please help me.
