So scared...to have a brain tumour

I am experiencing such bad headaches every single day, 24/7 in a localized spot, top left corner of my head especially. I have a beautiful one year old daughter and just got back to work. I cannot concentrate, I feel dizzy half of my days. I just wish i could enjoy this beautiful world, my daughter, my husband, my job, my LIFE!!!
I should mention that in that particular spot, I feel like my skull protrudes more, and it does. Like as if I have a mass/hump.. And that is where I feel so much heat and tingle and TIGHTNESS!  I DO have a bit of a degeneration in a disk of my neck...could it be a protruding nerve? I'm so scared. I get so angry and nervous and messy. I have to "fake" my way through my days just to make sure I get through them. I have read symptoms of brain tumours and I do have some of them.
I am also ALWAYS sick...throat pain, stuffiness all the time and this is unusual for me. I have gone through blood tests and nothing came through. I'm young and scared to death.... I need guidance, I need relief!! Please help.

Hi and welcome to the Migraines & Headaches Community.

I would get an MRI and/or CAT scan done. Especially since you have a lump. Nothing you are describing leads to a migraine. You need to get more tests done. And if your doctor can't find something then you need a 2nd opinion!! Keep pushing them. A lot of doctors can be so passive that it is ridiculous. Sometimes you have to be your own advocate and speak up for yourself! Good luck!!

P.S. Try looking on the Cancer Community and see if you get any answers there.

I should also mention that this area pulsates/throbs a lot. Nothing works (Advil, Tylenol, naproxen). I'm also losing my hair and I usually have a VERY full head of hair. My husband even noticed that I've been losing a lot of it lately.
Anyone can help me?
