Headache, Blurred Vision, Whooshing Noise In Ear. Paranoid And Brain Tumor. Eyes Tested And Healthy. Problem?
Hi, I've been getting headaches of moderate pain for the last two-three months. They usually start a couple of hours after I have woken up and I have blurred vision when I look Down in left eye. And just last night I started hearing a wooshing noise in my ear when I move my jaw from side to side. I've been to the doctor 4 times (I'm paranoid I have a brain tumour) but he insists I don't. I've had my eyes tested and he said they were perfectly healthy. This all started when I moved 3 months ago. I just want to feel normal again :(

Hi,
Headaches lasting this length of time should be investigated. I would suggest you see a neurologist for reassurance. A CT or MRI scan may be necessary.
Common causes of recurring headaches include stress and anxiety, migraine, cluster headaches and dehydration.
I suggest paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain and drink plenty of water and see a neurologist.
