Hi guys, I dont know if im being paranoid here.. I figured the best way to get answers would be to ask those who have it.. ok here it goes..

recently ive been reading up on brain tumors, About 2 months ago I started feeling very odd out of nowhere.. vague.. confused.. etc. I went to the doctor and they were so confused cause I was giving them all sorts of symptoms that lead to nowhere.. anyways.. I began feeling slightly better but never the same since before 2 months ago. since then ive seen multiple doctors who were rendered clueless by my symptoms. another side effect is ive been so unmotivated to do the things I enjoy, which isnt like me because im a fairly active person. Yesterday I went to the doctor yet again and told them what I was feeling as of recently (vague, fatigued, pressure around and above sinuses, impaired vision ) now when I say impared vision I dont mean blurry cause I can still see things at distances, but it just seems like it takes longer to focus.. now this confusion/vagueness is a truely bizzare and scary feeling. its not so much constant but there are times where i have to calm myself down. anyways I finally got the doc to order me a CT scan I hope all is well.. but im not sure what else it could be. anyone who has/had a brain tumor or just more knowledgeable than myself feel free to help me out, thanks

How about getting an MRI, that way the doctors can check your brain for any signs. Are you getting any headaches or how's your eating habits? Massive pounding headaches, sudden loss of weight from not eating, etc were symotoms I had back in 02 that determined I had a brain tumor. In 03-04 the tumor recurred as I noticed my left eye becamoe foggy and blurry. Good luck.

ya im getting headaches but they are pretty dull.. initially when I started feeling weird i dropped 8 pounds but i think that was due to anxiety, since then ive put 5 pounds back on and am eating regularly.
