Waiting for ENT and scared

Hi,
I'm 27 and last year around Sept I was told I have premature hearing loss and Pulsatile tinnitus so I was referred to ENT.
well for the past couple of months I've had a headache every at the front of the head or above an eyebrow, and the tinnitus has become constant and so much louder!
Most sounds seem to make the headache worse, and it's as if pressure is just building up in the head. My mood has changed, I've developed depression and I just seem to be irritated all the time or I can't stay concentrated on things
Anyways, Ive spoke to a doctor and put on some meds, but he has said I will probably need some scans when I have an ENT appointment (which isn't until Feb)
This has absolutley petrified me, because I can't shift the thought that I have a brain tumour and whilst waiting for this appointment I'm going to get worse with my anxiety!
Is there anyone who has been in a similar situation who could possibly offer some advice or reassurance on ENT, headaches etc?!
Thank you
