18 years old, history of extreme anxiety. i've felt dizzy, headachey and very forgetful for about a month. afraid of brain tumors (mom had one/died).

Valid fear: I am so sorry to hear about your mother! That is tragic. I do recommend you see your physician regarding this family history and potentially get a referral for genetics to review records and assess your risk. You need a thorough neurologic exam to reassure you. After this we deal with the anxiety!
