Brain tumor: Chances are low. However , new symptoms should be investigated with adequate history and physical examination by your physician. He or she will determine if another diagnostic test or treatment is necessary.

Unlikely: Brain tumors are uncommon, so do not be obsessed with this idea that your symptoms are due to a brain tumor. You should go see your doctor and let him/her figure it out. A ct scan or brain MRI can easily tell if you have any tumor inside the head but your doctor has to first examine you to decide whether you deserve to have the x-rays/scans or not.
