Please tell your : neurologist today that your symptoms have recently worsened in order to determine why & what needs to be done. Otherwise, all one can conclude is that something has changed & that change needs to be evaluated. Be sure to ask your neurologist for a report to use to obtain high-school accomodations under Public Law IDEA or college/work accomodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Pituitary gland tumo: I understand your distress. Tumor pressure can cause headaches ACTH tumors can cause anxiety which can lead to dizziness. These symptoms may also be due to Alcohol and Benzodiazepine abuse. See Neurologist and Endocrinologist for Pituitary gland tumor, have consultation from Internist for Diagnosis.
