Could I have a Brain Tumor or something serious?

4 months ago, I (29yr, F) opened the window of the airplane I was flying in one day and the sudden extremely bright light triggered my first migraine. Since then, they come and go, each time more and more frequent. The bone behind my left ear started to hurt on and off, especially when I wore my hair bandoo. They are one the left side of my head, above the ear, next to the eye, the area is very tender to touch and when touch the pain occurs in my tooth below. For a week I had tonsilitis in my left tonsil and the fluids or sinuses in my neck could be felt or heard when I flexed my neck. 3 days ago I had nausea and a sleepless night that turned into a panick attack. Now I lie here with the pain trobbing away on the LS of my head. .........also My Mom and Sis have high blood pressure. Any ideas what this could be, sounds familiar to anyone?

I would seek out a good ENT. If in the rare event you had a brain issue, he or she would uncover it in the course of finding and treating the infection.

Most likely, you don't have a brain tumor. It's more likely that your infections did not clear up or spread. The anxiety about the whole situation can be exasperating symptoms. I would contact your doctor for a follow-up.
