A mum-of-three who was told she had ‘really bad anxiety’ was actually suffering from a potentially deadly brain tumour.
Police officer Emma Capper says she felt unwell for weeks but struggled to get a face-to-face doctor’s appointment. The 39-year-old was finding it hard to turn her head and felt “unsteady” on her feet.
After eventually visiting medics, she was diagnosed her with anxiety and given beta blockers for high blood pressure. Emma, from Oldham, says she was also prescribed anti-sickness medication for dizziness over the phone.
