possible brain tumor?

I'm 15 years old. About a year go, I started having moments where i would temporarily completely lose my eyesight and hearing and i would feel hot and crowded but cold at the same time. In these moments, I would become extremely weak and have to sit down. They were not very often. It only happened every couple of months. Then, about seven months ago, I had my first seizure. I have only had around 3 & I remember them fine. They aren't bad. I just lose control of my body as it jerks and twists for around 10 seconds. I also have an increase in headaches now, and they are followed by the first symptoms i described (loss of eyesight & hearing, hot/cold, weakness, etc.) There is no specific time when these things happen. In fact, theres nothing similar about my surroundings at all. It just happens at random moments. There is also a ton of pressure in the back of my eyeballs. It feels like its where they are connected to my brain. And recently, the moment i focus my eyes on one thing for like 2 seconds or more, it blurs up completely. I do not have a history of any medical problems or seizures prior to this past year. I'm just really scared. I don't know what is going on in my body, and I am afraid to know. Please help me in any way that you can. I am begging.

Hi there. You need to rush to a neurologist for a detailed clinical examination of sensory and motor system and your reflexes. A brain MRI, EEG need to be done on an urgent basis. If these are inconclusive, diseases like migraines, need to be considered. You need to seek medical help immediately to make sense of these symptoms. Take care.

Just like you I am afraid to know what is wrong with me. Recently I've been having symptoms too that makes me think that I have something bad. Please...Please...Please...tell your parents what's going on and go to the doctor ASAP. I don't want to say it is due to stress because you are still young. It doesn't have to be brain tumor...it could be epilepsy or other neurological issues, but it is difficult to live like this...not knowing and all.Good luck and my prayers are with you. Keep us updated.
