NOT to worry!: Worrying about a brain tumor is NOT a symptom of a brain tumor! You should make an appointment with a Primary Care provider. Sit down and discuss your symptoms..answer some directed questions and the doctor may perform a Neurologic exam...but stop worrying...its self defeating! Hope this helps Dr Z
