Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
thanks for sending the question.

This might be a manifestation of stress. If you have a significant stress this can sometimes cause a malfunction in normal thought process. This is not uncommon.

Almost everybody deals with some degree of stress which can affect how well the mind functions.

Generally we recommend a good well-balanced diet with healthy exercise at least 4 to 5 days per week to help improve the ability you have in order to deal with stress.

If you think your symptoms are getting much worse I think it would be reasonable for you to visit with your primary care doctor to discuss.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga

Detailed Answer:
another consideration could be eight seizure disorder. If this continues to happen you should talk to your doctor and he might suggest that you see a neurologist to evaluate that possibility.

I don't have any other symptoms and remember everything I have bad anxiety could that be the cause the constant worrying

Should I worry about a brain tumor?

Brief Answer:
Followup

Detailed Answer:
Anxiety could be a major factor contributing to this.

I would talk about it with your primary care physician.

A brain tumor would be very unlikely. You can review all of this with your doctor and if he thinks you would benefit from a CT scan of the brain he may request this for you.

Otherwise I think this is largely induced by stress and anxiety.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
