A member asked:

I've been having a weird feeling/ pressure in my right temple and down towards the back of my neck, could this be a brain tumor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weird feeling: If only symptom brain tumor unlikely. Feel the area and see if tender or knotted. Tumor would be unlikely if these exist. I going on longer than 10-14 days and causing you concern you should see your pcp.
