Could this be a brain tumor?

[phenoix2003]

For the last couple of weeks I have been experiencing a very weird feeling in the right side of my head. It feels like someone has turned the bass up on a stereo really loud but there's no volume, and its a very quick "bump bump bump" feeling....sort of like a rumbling feeling not just near my ear but also above and in front of my right ear. Some days I don't feel anything at all, but other days it happens a lot. It usually only lasts for between 5 and 20 seconds, and it's not like an ear infection because I can move my head any which way and it won't cause anything to happen, and I don't feel dizzy although I do wake up with headaches often but I think they may just be sinus headaches. The weird feeling/sound occurs just out of the blue, when I'm laying down, when I'm at my desk on the computer, when I'm driving, etc. I went to my doctor last week about it who said he had no idea what it could be and suggested I just write down every time it happens and let him know if it improves. But it's really starting to worry me.

Also, one of the other things occuring before I went to the doctor was that I was having little tremors in different body parts, my right thigh, my arm, my lower stomach...it felt as though someone put a vibrating cellphone up against me (if that makes sense). My doctor said to keep note of when that happens too, and since the DR visit it's only happened maybe 3 or 4 times total, but the thing in my head happened the day before yesterday and it was on and off all day long, at least 50-60 times (i kept a tally of when it happened). It doesn't totally mess up my concentration however it still really worries me, as it just doesn't seem like this should be happening.

I posted this in the ear/nose/throat forum, but a friend of mine told me that I could be experiencing symptoms of a brain tumor so I thought I would post it here to.  Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be?

Thank you

Is it your heartbeat you are hearing. The blocked sinuses could cause it to sound odd.

thats not a sign of brain tumor. U should keep going to doctors to find a possible cause but it most definitly isnt a tumor.

Do you have any weakness on either side? If not, it probably not a tumor. But you should see a neurologist. Make sure they hear your concerns. A MRI may be the answer. If there is a tumor, they will find it. Always remember that you can get a 2nd opinion. I hope its nothing. I had brain surgery in 2003. They found a tumor in water on top of my right side of the brain. They said I had it growing for over 20 years. I had it removed. All is good. I am on meds to make sure of no seizures (muscle pulsing and headache). I hope this helps. I wish you well!

Relax buddy, that's not a sign of brain tumor. However, you should see your doctor if you experience unusual health problems...
