Depends on symptoms: Depends on your symptoms. You should start with a thorough history and physical by a qualified, trusted health care professional. If he/she is concerned enough because of something in your exam or your history, an MRI is the best overall test to rule out a brain tumor, but may not be necessary in your case.
