A member asked:
Hi, i've been having feelings of pressure and tightness in my head for over a week with on/off dizzy spells. is this a sign of a brain tumour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: This can be a sign of many other things, other than a brain tumor such as migraine headaches, Inner ear problems or certain infections. I think you should pay a visit to your family physician to work this out. Best of luck!
