Many people are walking around right now with brain tumors and don't know it and may never know because it may never grow and they may not know it until it begins to cause your body to do strange things. My brother had a brain tumor, first thing he began having strange mood swings, then he started forgetting how he got from point A to point B, forget things at work, then he had a stroke from the brain tumor. He had a tumor the size of a Lemon on his brain stem. I also knew two women and both their kids had brain tumors that killed them, took over their brain and their motor functions. The best thing to do is go to a doctor and tell them what is going on with you. It may not even be a brain tumor your could have a in-balance with something in your body under producing hormones or overproducing hormones. Go see your doctor.

My mother who used to be a smoker, developed a brain tumor a couple of years ago. And while although it was completely removed and benign, she does forget things a lot still and sleep a lot. I know it seems like a standard answer, but go visit your doc, that's what they are there for and will help you out if you need it. Best of luck to you.

My grand daughter was born with a large brain tumor the size that covered her brain, she lived for three days and died, my friend had a surgery for a tumor that she had for most of her life, they didn't operate until it began to interrupt her functions like balance. They took out what they could and told her the rest would grow but she would outlive it.
So, two different environmental positions I guess.

Lets hope that you do not have tumor. You need to see a doctor so he/she can request a CAT scan. That will be tha only way to check and see if you do have one. Don't wait because it seems it is stressing you out.
