If you suffer anxiety, we’re all here with you.

Normal person: I have a headache WebMD: You are almost dead

My anxiety starts to creep up on me and I think I have every cancer in the world. The biggest one, brain cancer. My anxiety causes me memory problems, lack of concentration and irritability. This video calmed me down, but I'm still worried.

As a hypochondriac, I should not be here.

Going to the doctors tmr. Pray for me ❤️

I just want a life without any headaches

Anxiety= having every possible symptom😔

My husband told me to stop consulting with Dr. Google and Dr. KZfaq.

We’re all gonna make it brah.

ugh 20 years and I have the worst type of health anxiety ever. constantly going back and fourth between googling about brain tumors, breast cancers, lymphomas, lung cancer etc. It all started when my friend had an actual serious illness but she’s healed.

To everyone here, pray! It’s not easy! I suffer from anxiety and far from a role model Christian. I lose. I win. At the end of the day, I still got Jesus in my corner! Does everyone get miracles? No. Does everyone have their prayers answered? No. However, I rather go out believing than being a nonbeliever. Everyday with Christ, I know I got a chance! Do what you can, but sometimes spiritual intervention is necessary! Give it to Christ and try not to worry! God’s understands our dilemma! No one’s perfect! What have you got to lose?

Hypochondriacs where you at??

As soon as I heard the doctor explain that headaches are usually not present in brain tumors I felt instant relief. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and have been having headaches recently. Also last year I had a cancer scare in my colon which turned out to be inflammation caused by appendicitis. So nice to hear from an experienced Doctor instead of googling and misdiagnosing myself 😂😂

My husband had a brain tumour. He’d never had a headache, not even a slight twinge. His tumour was discovered following what we thought might have been a small stroke. 😢

Wow this dude knows his shit. Seems like a very good doctor

Life is too short my friends, so enjoy every day, do what you love, you never know when it's your last.

I've had a headache for a month and all I wanna do is cry.

My brother had a brain tumor and brain cancer and it's extremely interesting (now that he is remmission) to learn what he's gone through

on the real i been worried bout having a tumor for a while now and this guy actually put my mind at ease a lil bit

This being in my recommended is making my anxiety go crazy

These comments are so depressing.

Very informative,so glad i watched this, it is the best explained information i have ever heard.Thank you Dr Len Cerullo.

is it me or is this guy rlly good at explaining tumor symptoms

U explain it way better over a video than most doctors that u would pay thousands to go see, u are a very smart man and thank u I've just discovered that my headaches are believed to be called and ice pick headache although it was self diagnosed.

I have found this very informative, thank you, my husband (34 years) was diagnosed with secondary brain tumors and a lug tumor after taking him to the dr 3 weeks ago with facial paralisis. He is about to start radiotherapy to his head tomorrow and I hope we can get some time x

Thank you for this video. I had a panic attack the other night and have been worried about my health eve since. This really cleared things up for me.

Thank you for this informative video. I now look at the subject differently.

Very informative and non-emotive. Thank you for good information; and MORE for *how* you present the information.

I just had a brain tumor removed a couple of weeks ago. Prior to that, I discovered it because I had these weird uncontrolled thoughts. It was like my mind was stuck in a loop. I thought I was going crazy. At first, my Dr. thought it was a panic attack but since I've never had a panic attack before we pressed to get a CT scan and that's when found it (followed by an MRI). Scary stuff I must say.

This guy puts my fears at ease

*_The best video for people with Hypochondria_*

Extremely helpful! Thank you.

My anxiety convinces me I have a different illnesses every so often

Just been diagnosed with an mvnt about 5 minutes ago after suffering crippling lower back pain for years when standing still/lying flat. Also numbness down my right leg. Thanks for making this video.

Actually great video. Gives me sort of peace of mind that I might not have brain tumor but only anxiety headache. Thanks

That's why I want to enjoy my life and sharing as long as I'm alive

As ur undergoing a great trauma of sick health,plz have great faith and trust the creator,he will make ur life easy and blissful..its just possible these tumors stop growing and vanish by the will if God.

I love you, omg in so relieved I have a dull headache almost everyday after school or work.

This was very informative Thanks.

This doctor really love his job.

For the past 5/6 years of my 17 year long life... I've had that really strange daily migraine on one spot of my head on the right. It usually lasts about 2 seconds and is either really dull or really sharp...Nothing else... They told me it was stress-related. Whenever I'm stressed out or have a cold or smth like that it gets sharper and more frequent. But, yeah, nothing else... About a month ago I got really paranoid, because I was scared of a tumor... And the stress itself caused weakness on one side of my body for a short while and facial twitches... But as soon as I calmed down it all went away. I still have that chronic migraine, though... And I'm starting to get paranoid again, obviously...

Does anybody else ever suffer from "ice pick headaches" ...? Like in one spot and the pain is so bad you can barely walk/open eyes? Lasts under a min... it's awful. 😔

Thanks dr. Phill that was helpful!

I really like the way you explain thing. Thank you xx

I might as well say my thoughts to Im a very worrysome person and I get paranoid alot On Sunday at the gym I got a headache and felt a little week I dont experience any brain tumor symptoms but I get anxiety thinking about it and I cant get my thoughts together whenever I notice something wrong I always think its a serious illness and it keeps me worried and not enjoying life for good amount of time

This video helps me sort of more understand my medical condition. In October 2014 I was diagnosed with a low grade thalamic brain tumor. I wasn't aware of the tumor until the MRI. My doctor asked me all of the questions and the one that didn't make sense to me was, she asked me if I stare into space often, which I do. And she then turned to my mother and asked when others happens if I twitch at all. She said I do twitch, when I stare into space my eyes, lips, and pretty much my whole fave twitches for a few seconds and then I come back not remembering what just happened. She said it is a different type of seizure. I go April 2015 for another MRI to see if it has had any growth. Hopefully not but time will tell. Thank you for making this video. It helped (:

Really well explaines. Thank you x

14 year old here, I’ve been getting pains at the right side of my head just above my ear, I’ve had the pains for around 3 months, it goes on and off to be honest I don’t get any pain sometimes for days at a time, but these horrible thoughts keep creeping to the back of my mind and I genuinely think I have a terminal illness, I know it’s unlikely to be because I’ve had no other symptoms other than headaches but my mind just wanders no matter how much I try to reassure myself, I hope this will get better for me sooner than later.

I'm a stage 3.8 Anaplastic Astrocytoma survivor. I never once had a head ache from it. I did however collapse to the ground 4 or 5 times, got right back up and went about my day.

It seems so difficult for doctors to write a referral for an MRI on the brain, even if a patient has stroke symptoms. Very difficult to get insurance companies to approve such procedures. The brain is the most important organ which is the hardest to find a doctor to treat.

Thank you Dr. Its helpful video

Am worried every since my mum passed a way from brain tumour am 15 and am worried about me having one and I get pains in my head too and I suffer from anxiety too but the way I look at don’t worry about things you can’t change if you have one you have and live ur life and always be on good terms with people

Your knowledge is so valuable to me and keep me informed aware about my own condition so I can communicate better and to help me make my own decision about what I should do what question I should asked about when I go see the brain surgeon. Thank you so much for sharing experiences and your knowledge:-)

I suffered with severe headaches and nausea until I went to an ER where they performed MRIs, CT scans, and performed a biopsy of the fist sized tumor in my brain. I have had surgery to reduce the size of the tumor and have been doing quite well since, with some relapses. No cure, there is only management. That being said, if you have a suspicion it is well worth having images taken to peer inside your noggin and see what is happening in there. If I had a time machine, I wild have asked for that from my primary doctor straight away.

Very helpful!

thank you for this video

The sad thing is when it really isn’t anxiety but you’re gaslighted to believe it is and when you find out it’s too late Biohazard girl was a KZfaqr who discovered she had stage 4 esophageal cancer that was so big they couldn’t even get the scope down into her esophagus and she found out too late because they kept telling her it was just anxiety rest in peace beautiful lady. Don’t just roll it out as anxiety still advocate for yourself and demand copies of your blood work because sometimes it’s not just anxiety and the sooner you fight the medical gaslighting and get the truth you can save your life

I’m laying down and I have a VERY bad headache so I looked up the symptoms and found this👀

Great video.

Wow, the first doctor that I've heard mention what I have since adulthood abdominal epilepsy. I've been so sick lately.

I searched up “what does it mean if your scalp feels warm”

My brother died of brain cancer 5 months after diagnosis. It was a large tumour (covered 1/4 of the top of his head) of a very virulent type. Symptoms were headaches for a couple of years before diagnosis which he had no suffered before, then a "petit mal" seizure and 10 days later a major seizure. He had surgery and radiation, could not tolerate chemo. His wife had a pre-planned MRI around this time for monitoring purposes. It turned out she had the same kind of brain tumour, and she died 6 months after my brother did. All I can recommend is if you have a seizure of any kind see your doctor right away and get a brain scan.

Thank you Dr.

awesome vid. got me hooked onto brain tumors n neurosciences in general keep em going.

This is a really good Doctor :D

I cannot believe he never mentioned memory loss.

Thank You!

Wish I saw this video in 2009 when it was released.... it would’ve answered a question doctors couldn’t figure out for about 10 years for me

Thanks for the info. Could you tell me if a tumor patient could expect pain localized to one side or the other (not headache pain, but pressure)? Also, would you reccomend an MRI over a CT?

I had a brain tumour (thankfully it’s been removed now) and when I did have symptoms I had really bad throbbing headaches which hurt more at the front of my head (where my tumour was) and they would always be there in the mornings and go away by the afternoon.they’d always have nausea and vomiting with them. I’d have other headaches pretty much daily but they were bare-able and more of just a dull ache. I don’t know why they happened as I never really experienced any headaches before diagnosis so assumed they were down to the tumour but this guy described the headaches to be pretty different to them.

I woke up a week ago with a very loud ringing in my ears. Hasn’t gone away.

Smart doc. God bless

Hello DR. Here is a case for you to study. My husband is 23 and his CT and MRI (with contrast dye) found a benign tumor behind the right eye, on the frontal lobe. He’s meeting with a neurosurgeon for consultation soon. Thank you for posting your educational video. His symptoms started as stroke-like with onset spinning headache and vertigo, as well as communication and memory difficulties. The first ER brushed off as temporary vertigo, as did the second. They did not use contrast dye. Behavioral also, as he became mellow and quiet. He’s usually an extroverted and energetic guy. But the vertigo became an almost daily thing, along with migraine aura. To anyone reading, don’t brush off sudden or new symptoms, especially migraines. His migraines are localized to the right temple, and it’s likely the tumor is causing pressure, which is causing the migraine aura. Thankfully no grand seizures, but he does “zone out” more often. Generalized weakness, frequent fatigue. I’m glad I listened to my gut feeling and pushed him to see several doctors and get second opinions. His family GP actually caught the possibility and referred to a neurologist. His specific location will be difficult for surgery, but he’s pushing for removal, as it is affecting his day-to-day functions and ability to work. It’s between the back of the right eye and frontal lobe. His migraine rarely goes away, but is reduced with medication.

I was diagnosed with a brain tumor in march,2010,I had migraine headaches,nausea,saw flashing lights.It's been sixteen months now,had 3 surgeries,hoping for the best as I am trying this new clinical trial for people in my condition.

Your a cool Dr ..I’m a RN and enjoy your channel

@amerboy22 .. My brother was just diagnosed with a tumor in the same place as yours. I see you posted this 3 months ago. What have the doctors done for your treatment since this post? How are you feeling today? I'd like to give my brother some encouragement, so any input you may have would be appreciated. I hope you are well!

i always have headache since i was 7 years n still have it... does it symptoms of brine tumors ?

"Thank you so much Doctor for explanation". So basically brain tumours "typically" only present headaches if they bleed in to a certain area, are pressing on something or are enlarged, so would that mean "late stage" or not necessarily? Another question is, if it presents a headache, would the headache come and go or stay regardless of taking medication such as over the counter or prescription meds? If it's reached a stage of constant headaches do other symptoms coexist with it such as neurological symptoms? I have chronic 24/7 floating in my head for 3 year's, August of 2020 developed Tinnitus, my right foot tingles more than left foot, severe fatigue. I'd seen a Neurologist 2 years ago, had a MRI done, which showed "2" small white matter lesions, one in frontal lobe and the second one which is called a "vascular variant" in the Dorsal Pons ( measuring 0.2 × 2.3 CM), it's noted as "may" be a vascular variant so it's not a 100% certainty, if I recall correctly I "think" it was too small to determine and why not sure, Nuero also stated if it is a vascular variant may be I had a "TMI" at one time or could be from migraines at one time or from aging as being test was done was I was 52 year's of age, lesions in my understanding are more common as we age. There was no indication of them being MS lesions, in my understanding MS lesions typically present "plaque". I had vestibular tests conducted and there was no findings. The Neurologist stated my symptoms are not from the lesions. I know medical field is always evolving and learning so my recent findings lesions in Dorsal Pons ( the pontine) can present symptoms. I'm so worried that I have something wrong with my brain. "Recently" had my regular doctor submit my 2018 Neurological report to her fellow colleague Neurologist and they stated the vascular variant could just be something I inherited. Will be hopefully returning to Neurologist that found the lesions for a follow up as I couldn't as I had to switch insurance plans but recently switched back so will be able to see him. I'm really scared. I've always had chronic anxiety and this makes it worse. Anyone that has had anything similar if you have any suggestions would greatly appreciate it, and anyone in the medical field that can suggest or give opinions would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

have you find or got any help? if so what kind, or what was your diagnose? thank you .

I still don't know what my career would be..but now I feel like I wanna be a doctor...I've been searching up cancer symptoms and different cancers and how to treat them...

Thank you. My relative has one. They think it’s the 2nd kind you mentioned but they have to do another test. The worst symptoms that are present are not much sleep, anxiety attacks, and fast heart beat.

Symptoms of my tumor were: short term memory loss (forgetting where I'd left my children after I'd got to work, how to make letters of the alphabet, and a deep pressure type headache that made me vomit. I had a very large meningioma of the left skull and lost cranial nerves 8-12. Even with the symptoms I had it took me by complete surprise.

Good explanation

Is there a difference between zoning out and that seizure where you zone out?

I've just been diagnosed with a 4cm x 3cm right temporal lobe tumor. I had seizures last week and ended up dying and was luckily brought back to life and woke up in ICU. I get headaches in my temporal lobe but i've also experienced cramping of the hands and fingers. My verbal IQ has declined and my working memory is very poor. I find mental calculations extremely difficult where I didn't before. I feel like I have some form of autism but I didn't when I was younger. I have routines that I stick too everyday and obsessions and my personality has changed radically over the past 6/7 years. I once had an IQ of 134 but I doubt it's anywhere near that now. My long term memory is now being affected and I just want all this to be over and done with.

This is a live story of Debbie Wilson, an intelligent, young woman with terminal cancer who worries about how her early death will hurt the people in her life, her partner and her parents in particular. Debbie’s mother once expressed a fear that she would lose her identity as a mother upon Debbie's death, and Debbie desperately wants some reassurance that such a tragedy won't happen.

When I was 12, I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. This this where the cerebral spinal fluid does not drain properly and I had to have brain surgery to have a vp shunt placed. 27 years later, my shunt stopped working and I had to have 2 brain surgeries to replace my previous shunt. These are called revisions. I still get headaches and I am on medications for it. It is hard. But you deal with it.

Get well soon!

What if the top of your head hurts every time you touch it?

Now my heart is racing!!

What was the diagnoses of your MRI? I hope it turned out to be ok.

The subject is very important; unfortunately I cannot hear it quit good. I don't know if something wrong with my computer or the video.

Excellent info here! I have cancer and every pain I feel I automatically assume my cancer has spread to that spot. Good to know it probably hasn't.

I’ve had a pressure headache in my forehead for over a week now. Last week I went and got a CT scan in the ER and they said it was fine. I also have this weird smell in my nose. I’m scared though, because they are so reluctant to give out MRI, and CT scans can often miss tumors.

@ryanoballs When you bend forward, or cough does the headache get worse?

There's just a small spot on my head the can hurt a little bit for a few minutes, but I haven't been feeling dizzy, having seizures, or any of the symptoms in the video, also I don't know if it's going away but it hasn't been hurting that bad lately and hasn't been lasting that long. I'm kind of concerned about this

I just had an headache and searched why do I have one? *ends up being here*

MESSAGE TO PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH ANXIETY: Last year in May I had the worst headache I’ve ever experienced, Pressure in my head, unable to eat, feeling sick & scared, I went to the doctors twice convinced myself I had a brain tumour, they said it was stress and anxiety however I refused to believe them and kept watching all of these videos. I came across this one and I felt calmer. This carried on until October/November last year. It’s now June 2023 and I look back and laugh at myself, it does get better and believe me back then I never thought it would and seen comments like this and kept thinking I was different. YOULL GET THROUGH THIS!

I had a colloid cyst in the third ventricle over 20 years ago. I suffered with headaches for quite some time before it was discovered. Increased pressure in my skull caused the headaches. I had a craniotomy and had the cyst removed, but had complications unfortunately, meningitis bacterial infection. It took me months to recover., but recover I did. I was lucky.

thanks , always thought headache was number 1 symptom, very interesting to find out it isn't
