First off, I am not one of those people that is wishing something is wrong with me. I hate, hate hate hate doctors, hospitals, etc. i havent even gone to the dentist since i was like 10. but i have had several things going on that are beginning to make me wonder if i have good reason to go to a doctor and request an mri or CT scan. for the last 5-6 years, i have had absolutely horrible headaches, usually towards the front of my head, sometimes so strong i cant stand up or wobble when i walk.my parents think this has something to do with my glasses/contacts. my eyes went bad almost overnight when i was 18, which is strange because i am the only person in my immediate or extended family that has to wear glasses other than for reading, but the headaches happen on a daily basis whether i am wearing glasses/contacts or not. i have literally been woken up in the middle of the night to excruciating headaches. other than my contacts, my parents think it might be hypertension because i am overweight. i had absolutely no history of headaches let alone migraines growing up. excedrin helps to an extent, but not much. at first i thought the headaches may have had something to do with these knots i developed on my head(they did not hurt), but i have had 3 removed and only 1 is left and the headaches have gradually gotten worse. i have become increasingly clumsy and imbalanced over the last 5-6 years. at first, i passed it off as puberty, same thing with the eyesight, but now i am 25 years old and it hasnt gotten any better. i hear this high pitched hum in my ears quite often, but maybe thats normal, i dunno. i cant tell you how often i get stopped mid sentence because all of a sudden i cant remember the name of the person i was getting ready to talk about, cant think of the words i was looking for, etc, which is normal to an extent i know, but this happens ALL THE TIME for me. it just seems weird how often this happens. other times, i have to think to remember what i just did 30 minutes ago. i remember after a few minutes, but forgetting what i did 30 minutes ago is not normal. this happens with much less frequency, but still happens. i get agitated much easier than i used to, and other times i sink into a state of depression and have anxiety attacks out of nowhere. like i said, im not wishing something is wrong with me, only trying to get an idea if i am dealing with typical body issues or if a doctors visit is truly justified, because i cannot stand doctors offices. im not looking for a diagnosis, only a recommendation. i have read more posts on yahoo answers, and looked at more websites than i care to count, at symptoms and causes of depression, hypertension and brain tumors. what i need is an intelligent person to tell me if i am worrying about nothing or if a doctors visit is justified, because im not going unless i truly have reason to worry. and sorry for the long post, but i wanted to give you a good idea of what im going through
LET ME TRY TO HELP IN LITTLE WAYS THAT I CAN. THE RINGING IN THE EARS CAN BE FROM TOO MUCH ASPIRIN. BE CAREFUL AS ASPIRIN CAN KILL YOU. YOU STATE PERSONALITY CHANGES, HEADACHES, FORGETFULNESS, UNSTEADY GATE, SUDDEN EYESIGHT CHANGES, OVERWEIGHT...THESE ARE ALL INDICATORS FOR YOU TO GO TO THE DOCTOR. TELL HIM YOU WILL NOT LEAVE HIS OFFICE TIL YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWER. IT IS PERFECTLY OK TO REQUEST AN MRI TO SETTLE YOUR FEARS. SOMETIMES, YA GOTTA GO TO A SPECIALIST. PARENTS AND US ON YAHOO DONT HAVE THE DEGREE NOR THE TECH SUPPORT TO LESSEN YOUR FEARS. PLEASE FOLLOW UP ON THIS.
GET TO THE DOCTOR .... SOON you are having very serious symptoms your symptoms can be somethin like a brain tumor... but again it may not. You NEED TO GET A MRI, or a CAT scan, this way you can rule things out and move on with your life ***DONT WAIT, SCHEDULE A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT NOW***!!!!!!!!
this is quite a list of alarming symptoms that you present.It would be in your best interest to go to a doctor as soon as possible. Dont your parents notice that something is wrong ?or are you living alone ? you must get some professional help..I realize that this isnt what you want to hear but with this history you give..it would be best..go soon now..and take care
