No: Check reason for sleep apnea like adenoids, obesity. Otherwise see MD for anxiety or depression.

Maybe not!: There may not be anything wrong with your brain, but there could be other factors affecting the way your brain works! Sleep deprivation, drugs, sleep apnea, stress/anxiety, can all cause symptoms like you describe. If you correct the underlying problem, then your brain might work perfectly! I recommend seeing your doctor to try and determine what could be causing your symptoms!

I have occasional lightheadedness, and on other occasions I feel a head-rush similar to an adrenaline rush. I also sometimes have a tingling sensation in my feet and hands. Should I be worried about brain tumors or ALS? Or is this anxiety 101?
