ARGH. I should put this under mental health.
I don't get headaches, but I have a terrible one. Made me sick to my stomach.
With nothing more than that, my brain starts whispering, "It's a tumor. This is the beginning of the end."
And then I google. Now I am torn between subarachnoid hemorrhage and a growth.
I never go to the Dr. or talk to people about it.
I just work myself into a secret frenzy.
Why?WHYYYY do I do this? blerg.

Have you ever gone to the Dr. for this issue? That would be my only suggestion... Oh, and step away from Google..

@Reese: You mean therapy? well, I have done therapy, but this issue never came up, surprisingly. I guess I didn't have any unexpected ailments during that time, lol.
It isn't too chronic (just because my health is usually a-ok), and I know it is ridiculous, which I why I don't tell anyone.....but now I will never have another headache without wondering if it is a 'sentinel headache'

I used to have this problem, then I went on some anti-depressants (for other issues) and it resolved. Now I'm not afraid I'm constantly almost dying. I thought I had a different kind of cancer weekly, I swear.
Perhaps see a physician about the headache, or a therapist?
Good luck! It sucks feeling like you have some crazy disease all the time!

Here's a story, I went off of Zoloft to TTC and started getting a tingling feeling in my legs a couple weeks ago and was convinced I had MS. I went to my therapist and it turns out that that is a VERY common symptom of anxiety. These things are self-fulfilling. Once I stopped thinking about my legs because I got busy, the sensation went away. The mind is so powerful!

Sounds like it could be a migraine to me. I'm one of the lucky ones: 2 Aleve, and lying down with a blanket over my head (or in the dark) does the trick. Hope you feel better soon!

Step away from the Google!

It is so interesting that people keep bringing up anxiety. It never occurred to me that my 'It's a tumor' problem was secondary to depression or anxiety- probably because I stereo type what those things 'look' like.
Good luck! It sucks feeling like you have some crazy disease all the time!
