I am really freaking out here and need some insight. I just finished an anatomy class and we had a section on this, so maybe that’s just kind of made me a hypochondriac.
I’ve always suffered from headaches (I’m 16). It runs in our family. Lately they have been getting progressively more severe and more frequent. It starts as a pressure behind my eyes and radiates around to the back of my head. I’ve also noticed that my right eyelid has began drooping. Not all the time, but fairly often. I went to my regular practitioner and he sent me to an ophthalmologist. They did tests and said there is nothing wrong with the nerves or muscles in my eye and mentioned a few possible causes like cluster headaches or ophthalmic migraines.
The past week or so I’ve been really mood and short tempered. That’s just not usually like me. Yeah I get mad of course but I;ve been snapping at people really often over small things. It’s really just not like me. And I’ve just felt depressed and gloomy. It’s really affecting everyone around me, particularly my girlfriend. It’s killing me.
The ophthalmologist scheduled me for an MRI in the next few days. The doctor never mentioned a tumor, but is it a possibility? I just want to know whats wrong with me!
could it be a brain tumor?

I have the exact same thing. One of my eye lids has been drooping lately too and ive always had really bad migraines. It also runs in my family. I think the drooping eye has to do with me not getting as much sleep lately and from smoking too much. I also get eye twitches every so often.
I really doubt its a brain tumor and youre probably fine, since migraines run in your family. Just drink a lot of water to help your headaches. It never hurts to get it checked out if youre really worried though.

its likely to be just headaches but your really sensible to do the grown up thing and have an mri to be double sure.Try to not speculate and wait and see on the day.Best of luck !

I think you should just wait for what the doctor says
It might be nothing so don’t worry too much because that can cause other problems
I hope it’s all alright!
All the best, and have a good christmas, enjoy it, don’t let this make yours sad.
