Yes: Tremors, vision problems and headaches are more concerning than the calcification but the MRI is the appropriate test for the brain. I hope they figure out what is wrong and make it better for you. All the best.

Usually benign: Calcifications in brain are usually benign and do not explain your symptoms. You may have migraines. Tremors are not due to migraines and persistent tremors have other causes.
