Hi Guys, I don't know who I can contact so I'm writing here.
My partner started to get panic attacks and from his words he feels like his head will explode. Also he feels very thirsty all the time, drinks a lot of water, pees so much that his bladder started hurting but he is still thirsty. When he was younger,he used to smoke a lot of canabis. He read online the symptoms and he came to the idea of brain tummor. He is devastated. He lost his job, and I only get paid 100 euro per week, and we can't afford to see a gp or a doctor, he doesn't have a medical card. Are there any centres in Dublin that do free scans or diagnostics? We are desperate at this point. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon. Ciara

Hi Ciara,

The symptoms you describe could be many things, urinary tract infection or diabetes for example but most likely not a brain tumour. As for looking up symptoms on the internet, well we would all be long dead and buried if even a fraction of what was out there was true.

Try phoning a hospital to ask for advice. Your friend definitely needs to see a doctor.

Good luck

Kath
