Doctor says Im a Hypochondriact

Well I am a smoker so I know that can contribute to my headaches, I don't get enough exorsize, I drink Coffee but if I don't drink some then I get a headache from that. I don't eat right although I try. I am taking Prozac 20 have been for two months because of my OCD, GAD and Panic attacks. I know Prozac can cause headaches. I even worry about possible Carbon monoxide poisening since we have a gase heater and no detector yet. Im sure all of these are more likely then a brain tumor but I can't help these obsessive thoughts. I keep saying that since I have had these chronic headaches now for a few months I would be allot more sick if it were a tumor but, but there is always a but.

Cassie, the likelihood is that your headaches are caused by something other than tumours, and you are right to consider this amongst all other possible causes. tmj problems can lead to pain, what other ideas, treatments, and dietary considerations have you thought of?

Hi Cassie, It can be very frustrating when you feel like your doctor isn't helping. Make sure to be as open and honest with them as possible. Let them know that you are not satisfied and that you really need some answers to help you feel better. For example, if they say the problem is stress related, ask for techniques to help you cope with your stress. Casey _____________________________ The Panic Center Support Team

My anxiety is high yet again today. I worrie about these headaches of mine. I have been to the doctor 3 times about them and she says they are stress related, Migraines and that I shouldn't worry about them. YEAH RIGHT! They have been better not as frequent as befor but Im still getting them. I really fear Brain Tumors but my doctor says that's not what I have. This has been going on for months, headaches and migraines are not uncommon for me since I have been getting them since I was a young girl. My entier family gets them yet I worry worry. They are no different then any other headache I have had befor but they just seem more freaquent. I am under stress all the time but this is rediculous, they are not sever but I can't stop obsessing over them. I do have problems with TMJ this is recently since thing became stressfull for me, I do relize that this can cause headaches but I just don't know what to do. I can't keep going to my doctor, she thinks Im a Hypochondriact and Im affraid she wont take me seriously.
