A member asked:
Since 3 months, sometimes i feel like a kind of pressure (no pain) on the left side on the top of my head, always on the same area. is it tumor ?

Unlikely: Head pressure, tension headaches are quite common in otherwise healthy people. It is not a serious symptom of anything like a tumor. Take some tylenol (acetaminophen) and it should settle down. Only if you have progressively increasing headaches is it worth getting concerned about. But that does not seem to be the case at the moment.
