Brain Tumors/tumor

Question
I was wondering what is wrong with me? I have had two CBC test done and they have come back normal. I honestly feel out of it all the time mentally and physically.  My neck aches feels stiff half the time. I notice that my eyes are more sensitive to bright light.   I have periodical headaches which do not seem to go away. Sometimes i have the sensation of shortness of breathing   Do you think that I am a hypochondriac because honestly my parents believe these symptoms are in my head. Honestly what do you think is the best route to take in diagnosing the problem?

Answer
Well without any kind of examination it is impossible for me to tell you what this is. It is also hardly something that is within my area of expertise here which is ONLY cancer. And I can not check you since I'm retired and am in Stockholm, Sweden, Europe. So I think you should let a dr. give you a thorough examination. Only after that can we make any form of conclusion.
