With a normal MRI a year ago and CT head recently there is no evidence to support the presence of a brain tumor. Work up should now be extended to other much more common causes that can cause such symptoms, specifically a thorough ENT and neuro exam.

There is no data to raise concerns of brain tumor but your headaches require evaluation and treatment. This maybe migraine but a neurologist can help going forwards to pinpoint diagnosis and stabilize your symptoms

32F. Been having tingling and numbness in face (jaw, ear, neck) on left side for past few weeks, now starting to affect both sides. Also been having dizziness and wobbly feeling for 7+ months. What are the chances this is due to a brain tumor?

I had a head MRI 13 MOS ago and it was normal. How likely is it that I'd have a brain tumor 13 MOS later? I have headaches, body aches, & numbness.
