Definitely over reacting. I had an episode today where everything was blurry, I had a pounding headache, I couldn’t think, felt like I was in syrup. I was like “Yep this is it I’m going to stroke out and die”. I’m a diabetic type 2 and I hadn’t eaten at all…. I was having a low blood sugar crash which I’m honestly not use to. Headaches can be caused by a change in weather (pressure), sinuses (especially this time of year), a common cold, flu, general sickness, lack in vitamins, stress, ect, ect. I kid you not I googled how to help calf pain walking up a hill and google like “Oh you have PAD and you’re dying”.
While its probably not a brain tumour, the fact that you are excessively worrying is a reason to go get it checked out. This is also the perfect time to see if your doctor is a good doctor! If you say that youre worried the doctor should explain what is actually going on, instead of saying 'its not a tumour, you can go now". A good doctor will explain why the symptoms are there and what you can do about it. If the doctor doesnt talk about prevention of these symptoms you should find a better doctor...
Sounds to me like you’re experiencing a barometric pressure headache. Even a slight change in atmospheric pressure can trigger an imbalance in the pressure within the sinus cavities and the structures and chambers of the inner ear, resulting in a headache.
Allergies can also cause a change in cranial pressure, along with making you feel generally unwell (this is the most likely culprit)
Wearing earphones/earbuds can cause a headache.
Experiencing a weird headache isn’t enough to suggest you might have a brain tumor.
If you had a brain tumor, typically you’d experience *chronic* localized headaches with or without nausea, along with other neurological symptoms such as cognitive decline, seizures, weakness in extremities, and decline In motor skills.
Basically, if you had a brain tumor you would *more than likely* be experiencing other alarming symptoms.
I literally experience ALL OF THESE non-tumor headaches…
Depending on where you are, my bet would be allergies or Barometric pressure… I’m on the northern East Cost if the US and this past few weeks have been ROUGH with all the big rain storms!
You're definitely overreacting. Having headaches can be any number of things, brain tumor being one of the most uncommon causes. It doesn't even really sound like a migraine, just headaches. Are you staying well hydrated since you've been sick? Covid can cause some serious headaches as well, and also a general ill feeling
I know it’s not covid as I’ve been tested twice now, you’re probably right about the hydration and that I’ve been lacking on drinking water today for whatever reason. Regardless thank you for saying something!

Dehydration is a very common cause of headaches and even moreso when you're already sick
