Scared to death that I might have a brain tumor

Heya! I am a 16 year old male from Sweden and since about 2 months back I have experienced some really weird symptoms:

*Tremors in my hands, arms, legs
*Cold hands and feet
*Eye Tics
*Muscle Twitches
*Tingling, Numbness and Burning sensations
*Brain fog, difficulty finding the right words, checking twice for spelling, slurred speech.
*Extreme fatigue, both physical and mental.
*Frequent Urination
*Weird bump on my forehead that isn't just "a spot".

Due to several reasons I can't visit a doctor until probably January so if there is anyone here who can ease my mind I would appreciate that.

Thank you for reading and happy holidays!

hello there...i know how hard it is worrying about having a serious illness. I have been like that since i was 13. I have to say none of your symptoms would point to a brain tumour- they do sound alot more classic of anxiety, hyperventilation, stress. But certainly see your doctor and have the tests you need to rest your mind... and then look at some help from a professional to settle the symptoms you are having. All the best :)

The only way to get rid of your fear completely is to go to docs and get them to scan your head. I had same fear as does almost everyone with anxiety unfortunately. But you will find. If a brain tumor is ruled out.... you will find another disease you think you have :( it is a vicious circle...

I when i did finally get my scan though was diagnosed with a skull malformation not a tumor :/

I also experience some weird eye artifacts and I react to sounds a lot quicker, I can't seem to keep my legs still and my short term memory is horrible.
