Epidemiology.: Answer is statistical likelihood. Follow your doctor's recommendation and treat the sinusitis completely. If the symptoms go away, then you will have proven her correct. If the symptoms are not improved meaningfully, then seek a second opinion for a more rarer diagnostic work up for other causes of your symptoms. If you have other risk factors for tumors, then seek this additional work up soon

The symptom pattern: Brain tumors do not passively for 7 years giving you the symptoms limited to the ares you cite. The body design has some predictable patterns related to structures involved. Her diagnosis is reasonable with the pattern listed. Brain tumor is not. If you want another opinion arrange it. You can always pay out of pocket for an MRI since insurers would not cover the study based on this pattern.

Random flashes of burning and tingling mainly in head but can happen anywhere, chronic dizziness, and flashes of lightning in eyes. Doctors think migraines, and Brain/Orbits MRI/V came back normal. Migraine meds dont help. Could this be FND as well?
