Afraid I have a brain tumor.
For sometime now I have had pressure in my forehead when I stand up and bend over. My eyes are off some days when I look from a distance. I feel off balance as well. Like bending over especially. I was feeling off balance when I walked but that has improved some. I have seen my dr who did a Nuero exam on me twice which was normal. And I recently saw my ent and she said it was either my sinuses or inner ear and I told her my concern of a brain tumor and she laughed and said no. I have been on 3 different antibiotics and predinsone and there has been no change in my head. So that's why I think it's something serious. My forehead feels weird when I lift my eye brows. Like the skin is pulling and have had burning sensations. I want to have a full ct scan done but I dunno of my ent will allow it since she only wants to see scan of my sinuses. Er will not let me have MRI so waste money if I go. It's causing me a lot of anxiety and google of course said balance problems and vision would be a sign so now I'm constantly worrying.
I hear that everyone is different with their symptoms so that's why I worry. I've not had headache like painful ones just forehead pressure that won't ease up. Just goes away when I lay down.
Is this anything close to sounding like a brain tumor?

Getting a ct scan of my entire head hopefully next week. Then she will see my sinuses. I don't think it's tension cause of the other symptoms I have which are related to sinuses. Just want tumor ruled out.
You have done exactly what I would have told you to do which is to see a doctor.
The exams they give you - even though they may seem simple - do show issues.
If you take a perfectly normal person and have them bend over, they are going to get dizzy - blood will rush to the head. Some of that may be an autonomic response as in you may have low blood pressure.
The more you worry, the more you have stress, and that can cause wicked tension headaches.
