I am terrified right now

Post by Jongamer » Mon Feb 16, 2009 12:53 am

For a over full week now, I have had on and off Minor Nausea and headaches, at first it really didn't com acrossed as anything serious.

Whenever I have these minor headache, they feel more like pressure building up, and it is always on the top of my head in a certain spot.
Nausea mostly happens right before bed, and a little in the morning.

After googling many many times, I found that Minor headache with nausea could be very serious if it happens over and extended period of time.

I am absolutely terrified at the possibility of it being a Aneurysm, or even worse, a tumor.

BTW I am 18 in case age matters.

I'm far from an expert, but my best guess would be sinusitis. Fairly bad sinusitis.

Your doctor is your friend!

Calm down.
You're 18.
Unless you've been playing around with your head in a microwave, your chances of having a tumor or an aneurysm are practically nil.

Assume the best when it comes to your own health.

My neighbour a while back had a headache. A constant one. He put off going to the doctor. A week after it started, he was in a coma, and they pulled the plug on him soon after.

It was meningitis, and by the time he was at the hospital, it was multiplying too fast to do anything about.

Just throwing that out there, it's always good to get it checked out before it turns into something serious. I recommend an MRI.
Hey, sup?

Yeah, but I always thought of that slim chance that it could be one of those 2 things.

I just read, that it could possibly be Carbon Monoxide poisoning, well our furnace just got fixed today (broken pilot light, it wouldn't stay lit)
But my dad (Who used to be a medic in the Airforce) thinks it could be Ozone in my room.

Because the room is closed up, I never leave the door open, and I have a computer, 2 CRT computer monitors, and a 27" TV in my room.
So earlier today, I opened up the windows, and put a Fan up into it to let all the possibly built up Ozone.

Though since it is so cold outside, I had to close it.

Don't think it is Carbon monoxide, because the Carbon Monoxide alarm in the livingroom hasn't gone off.

Great, after I was calming down. :cry: :cry:

Both of those sound like possibilities.
And easily remedied. (Wow, I spelled that right on the first shot?)

Try sleeping in another room tonight! Just, try it.
Wake up feeling fine, then hey, your room could use some upgraded ventilation :wink:

just try to calm yourself down, panic and fear are only counterproductive and will just make matters worse. go to a doctor tomorrow and get yourself checked out, until then just put it out of your mind, play some games or something

Don't worry man! Everything will be okay. :) Just try to be happy and take your mind off of it like Triton suggested. Mental optimism and well being has been proven to have a good effect on one's physical being, actually!

Just keep friends/family close, it'll help you through anything. Keep in mind that we're always here for you. :D

One other thing to try: drink lots of water. That helps when I have headaches. Oh, and it's quite possible that at this point, you're overly nervous and stressed because you're fearing the worst. That stress makes the headaches worse, which makes you more nervous. A very vicious cycle indeed.

But, as others have said (more or less), the Internet is no substitute for a doctor.

go to a doctor and don't use google or ask other people because you'll just get the worst case scenario

Hmm... I think there's something wrong with me. What do I do?

A. Ignore it and hope it goes away
B. Go see a doctor
C. Ask the Internet

:P

Seriously, if you're having recurring symptoms it's a good idea to go see a doctor. (Don't get too specific with your descriptions, just say "my stomach hurts" and "I keep getting headaches". Anything more than that and they might dismiss you as a hypochondriac.)
