i’ve had a headache at the back of my head for a couple of days, is this normal? i’ve been trying not to google and my mums saying it could be from resting my head against my headboard in bed or from my glasses pressing the side of my head. am i dying 😖i fear i did end up googling and obviously it’s saying i have a brain tumour

Google will just tell you the worst case scenario. The internet is not a doctor. If you’re suffering you need to seek out medical attention. But your mom isn’t being unreasonable with her suggestions, if you’re still getting used to your glasses or their adjustments to your face are wrong then it’s super common to have headaches.

@Yi_eune i know , i’ll leave it a couple more days and if it doesn’t go away i’ll get an appointment. i’ve had glasses all my life but could it be from wearing over the ear headphones maybe pressing against the arms of my glasses?

if it’s on your mind 24/7 and worrying you a lot, weirdly it can cause you to feel phantom pains so although it’s hard, try to stop thinking about potential diagnosis’

@onthepillxo my boyfriend said this to me and i did forget about it for a bit but a couple hours later i was a tiktok about cancer and it reminded me again

did it stop hurting when you forgot about it?

@onthepillxo yes, but i slept on my neck funny so my neck hurt and then i googled how to relieve nexk pain and then it said it can be a symptom for a brain tumour , it’s so annoying constantly worrying i feel like i’m gonna manifest it onto me by accident

neck pain is likely to come from sleepy funny so i wouldn’t worry! i completely get why you feel that way but try to keep it off your mind & distract yourself x

@onthepillxo thank you! i’ll try my best, do you have any tips of what i could do to keep my mind off it ? xx

do what you enjoy: spend time with family/watch a film (preferably a happy one haha)/read a book etc. if you decide to go on tiktok, just “not interested” any tiktoks that cause any increases in anxiety x

@onthepillxo okay thank you so much ! ☺️ i appreciate it xx

no worries, feel better soon! x

@bluey1234 yes. You need to look for headphones that are friendly for wearing glasses. Most headphones press too hard which could not only cause headaches but even damage the legs of the frame

@Yi_eune i still have a headache and i haven’t worn my headphones since friday, i’ve had a headache since sunday

could my glasses have been damaged already ?

@bluey1234 see a doctor.

@Yi_eune okay thank you

Also if you are on the break from the pill/ on your period is super normal:)
