A beauty queen has been diagnosed with a brain tumour after her intense headaches and vision loss were initially blamed on her contraceptive pill.
Holly Worswick, 22, suffered from migraines, but she thought they were due to the fact she was not drinking enough water.
However, when she started suffering sporadic vision loss, she went to the doctor, who she says simply opted to change her pill.
Holly said that during a routine appointment at Specsavers in February, optometrists “saved her life” as they urged her to go to A&E immediately after noticing her right eye’s optic nerve was “four times” its normal size.
Tests including CT and MRI scans revealed Holly had a benign brain tumour, which had triggered her symptoms by causing pressure and a fluid build-up behind her eyes.
