How to distinguish anxiety from a brain tumor or ms? i am panicking about having these diseases.

Not cancer: panic and anxiety are serious issues, not having cancer itself! SEE A PSYCHOLOGIST!

Comments: First point is "why are you so focused on bad events, and what is causing your anxiety?" Suggest visit to psychiatrist or psychologist, as part of this, and discuss whether you need testing for your concerns with your primary doctor.
