I might have a brain tumor - symptoms

Hi, I suspect I might have a brain tumor. I'm 15 years old. In spring of 2008, my vision became "wierd" in one eye - I had taken off my glasses and when I put them back on, it was like as if someone placed one lens close to my eye and the other lens of my glasses far away from another eye - that was what my vision was like. I thought it was a vision or diabetic (I am not diabetic) problem and went to an eye doctor, all he said was that I needed new glasses (he wasn't very knowledgeable. Then in the Summer of 2008 while I was on vacation in Los Angeles, several places and days when I walked outside on the streets or inside a hotel room, I felt unbalanced - as if the the ground was going from side to side. Then, after my vacation, still in the Summer, usually in the mornings whenever I opened my bedroom or bathroom door, this black flash filled my eyes - each time for about 3-5 seconds. The black flash has not happened since then. The unbalanced walking has not happened since then until now - about a week ago while I was at the library. I rode the elevator the the second floor. When I stepped out it was the same unbalanced walking feeling I had exerienced during Summer's vacation. Then two days ago, when I went to return my books, I rode the elevator again, and still the same feeling. And another thing, when the elevator was going down on both trips to the library - I jerked, whenever it started going down - as if my body was still in place when the elevator was still and my mind at the place where the elevator was moving to (hard to explain the feeling) - I experience similiar "feelings" while in the car on the road, whenever I keep my eyes on a road sign on the highway - when the car is just about to zoom past the sign, I jerk back. These "feelings" I have had a long time, or when I am on the swings (childhood), and the swing is going down, I jerk back (similiar to the elevator and highway feelings). They might be - as I recently dicovered - seizures. My memory, recently, has degraded badly - it takes me 10 seconds or more even to remember what I should be able to remember instantaneously before. And just a little extra thing that might help to see what's wrong with me - whenever I close my eyes to go to sleep at night (not always but a lot of the time), I sort of see the darkness going back and forth as if shaking my head back and forth several times before going to sleep - this symptom I have had since as long as I can remember. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi....I can not say u have something or u don't I am not a dr, but I suggest u see one and have some testing to make sure if there is something u r treated correctly.

U can have so many different conditions....or as the previous person indicated nothing of a serious nature.

Sinus infections, inner ear problems...low vitamin D.....all can cause issues...

Please see ur dr and tell him/her all ur symptoms!

Post how it goes!!

Good luck
Goodspeed

Your symptoms of vision,insomia and number of other feelings are symptoms of consumption of GMO foods.Watch Dr.Jeffrey Smith video on GMO foods.There is nothing wrong with you.
