A student nurse has been given a shock diagnosis after being told her persistent headaches were just symptoms of anxiety. After suffering from the ailment for a while, Bridie Wilson went to visit her GP in April to be told her symptoms were most likely to stem from anxiety, reports the Liverpool Echo.
However, as time progressed the student nurse's symptoms began to deteriorate with more regular headaches alongside new symptoms of dizziness and increased clumsiness. Due to the worsening symptoms, Bridie decided to look up her symptoms online to see if she could discover anything more about her condition.
Upon, researching she saw the symptoms lined up to that of having a brain tumour which she shared with her partner and mother. The pair told the 22-year-old not to be silly as it was ' just stress'.
