Head problems

I've been meaning to make this thread for a while and i believe i made something similar to this about a year ago

Note: this is a serious thread, please post serious answers

So I've been skiing my whole life and about a couple years ago I started to get dizzy when spinning (nothing out of the ordinary) and then about a year ago I've had massive headaches for a couple mins at a time, and a very sharp pain in the back of my head, both left and right, My head is big in the back, per say, but is symmetrical. I have bad memory (short term) lately (6 months) and have a lot of trouble concentrating, but that's always been a problem for me. I've went to the doctor's thinking it was a brain tumor and, nothing. Also I have anxiety and for the first time ever I'm scared to go big skiing because I think I'm going to fuck myself up, maybe it's from hearing stories about people or what. Maybe it could be stress? I'm just looking for an answer to this and I'm really pissed about having anxiety and I'd really like to get over this

If you have any more questions about this just ask

TL;DR : I have anxiety and my head always hurts and I'd like to know how to "cure" it

All serious answers are appreciated, thanks.

any travel by plane is a lot worse. i was xrayed, MRIed and whatnot for the smallest injury things and no doctor would do that if there was the slightest real issue with it.

Sure, but you can call them instead of asking ns what's wrong with you and expecting to get an actual answer

There's a psych ward at every major hospital. Go to the E.R.

That is, if you're actually losing chunks of your memory and not embellishing what is actually a small problem and making it seem worse than it actually is.

And now you're so deep in the lie that you think you can't come out because you've committed yourself too far. So you keep going deeper and deeper and deeper into this elaborate facade of mental problems.

When you see your psychiatrist ask him about pathological liars.

I'm asking to waste my time and see other peoples experience, and CaptainObvious, why do people think every thread is a lie...there is no explanation for OP to say this, it's obvious he's lying, stop calling people out with no evidence, I'm looking for helpful answers, I don't give a shit if you think I'm lying

I don't necessarily think you are lying. Just wanted to pose it as a possibility. Also, relax buttmunch, I have thus far made two posts (now three) and both of them had actual advice in them.

Example 1: If your doctor thinks MRI's produce radiation, you need a new doctor. Ergo, you should see a doctor.

Example 2: You don't need to make an appt. to see a head doctor. Emergency centers are equipped to handle these types of situations. If what you're saying IS true, then you should seek immediate care before things get worse.

No that you say this, I wouldn't go this far ATM, since it happened once, and I'll wait and see if it happens soon. Emergency care also has quite a bit of fees that insurance doesn't cover

You're the only one who can determine how severe this problem is, so it's your call.

Yes, there are quite a bit of fees associated with emergency care, but neglecting to treat something because of fees is how people wind up with permanent damage. If things get really bad, make sure you stay safe.

Yeah, I wouldn't not go because of the costs, but I don't think it's time to go, just yet, and I will, thanks

Go get an MRI. Then go see a neurologist.

It has the potential to be Post Concussion Syndrome, Chronic Sever headaches or migraines or your anxiety problem creating cognitive dysfunction. I have had similar symptoms in the past and that's what my neurologist has come up with.
