You have insight: What you really need to do is address your hypochondriasis. You're in your intellectual and physical prime, and these are thoughts you should not be having. Ask your physician about talk treatment and basic health education that can let you distinguish the minor symptoms of daily life from serious disease, and learn to be comfortable with minor uncertainties in a world where illness is real.

Brain tumor : It is unlikely that you have a brain tumor. Brain tumors have a gradual onset and progressive morning headaches and nausea is common. Tension headaches arise from muscle strain, particularly in the neck. Try moist warm heat during the day with stretching and massage to relieve the tension. Meditation and biofeedback can help with the anxiety.
