Do Headache, Memory Loss And Difficulty In Speaking And Hearing Indicate Presence Of Brain Tumor?

I have worries that I may have a brain tumor. I have almost all the symptoms, which include; mood swings, memory loss, difficulty speaking and hearing, I lose my balance randomly, have problems concentrating, throbbing headaches which worsen if I cough, sneeze, or bend over, difficulty sleeping, appetite loss, unexplained weight loss, eye vision problems (blurriness) and ect. I am under 18, so I would have to ask my parents if I can get checked or not. Also, both my cousin and uncle passed away from brain tumors, so it might be hereditary. I don t want to get checked out if paranoity. Plus, money is tight in my family.. So I wouldn t want to go unless strongly recommended. Please help!

Neurologist,  's  Response
I strongly recommend that you be seen by a physician, preferably a NEUROLOGIST who specializes in these sorts of problems. I don't think money or anything else should prevent you from getting checked out as soon as possible. There are many programs available for people who are financially unable to afford health care. Your parents are probably aware of how to go about asking for such help if they feel they are in need or wish to apply to see if they may qualify. So, in summary and in YOUR own words, "I strongly recommend" that you be seen and examined by a neurologist for these symptoms ASAP. Best to you.

Neurologist,  Dr. Eris Ranxha's  Response
Dear
i am sorry for what has happened to your family members but you should understand that brain tumors aren't a hereditary desease
It will be relaxing for you to schedule a brain CT, just to be sure that you are ok.
There is no reason to worry and no need to undertake urgent CT scan.
