Does this sound like a Brain Tumor?

So this has been going for about two weeks now, i have a feeling of pressure and/or heat in the back of my head, directly behind my left ear, but it spreads to behind the top of my ear and my temple it feels like its being pushed inward or towards my head all day long. The heat is not constant, and it is not a burn, though very warm sometimes. But there is NO PAIN!!!! I REPEAT. NO PAIN!!!!! its quite a strange feeling and very hard to describe, I also get this feeling of shaking or moving while im laying down. i went to ER when it started and was diagnosed with a sinus infection.Took Zithromax, Mucinex-D, and Benadryll, Used Saline Solution all to no avail. My nose is completely clean i can breath fine, nearly no mucus at all Recently i have noticed veins sticking out on both sides of my forehead. The left side larger, they do throb slightly (left more) that i can feel, others can feel to the touch, but cannot be seen throbbing. Im no doctor but i don't think this has to do with my sinus's. im 20 years old, Male, Long time smoker, i had bladder and ear problems when i was young but haven't had problems since i was about 13, Seasonal allergies to dry plants and grasses. Still have Tonsils, Adenoids, and Wisdom Teeth

I know its not much of a description, im sorry Its hard to describe. It doesn't affect my vision, i don't have nausea, haven't lost weight yet, i haven't seen most of the signs of a brain tumor, but this is very concerning and it does cause pressure on where i believe the Temporal Lobe is, I will see the Doctor on Thursday and ask for a MRI, but i was hoping a doctor or tumor survivor could help could give me an idea first, its so strange that their is NO pain just pressure and some heat, even when my head throbs it just feels like heat and pressure

My mom got migraines in her arm. Her head did not hurt. Many get visual migraines - so you see shiny things - but nothing hurts. Bodies do weird things.

I have had family members with brain tumors, and I have had pituitary tumors. I had an episode with a hot spot on my head - which the docs though was an aneurysm so I had to get checked out. But it was nothing  - it eventually went away after months.

I suggest you find a good neuro.

I am no doctor and I have never had a brain tumor. However I am fully aware that not all Migranes cause pain. I get something called severe optical migraines. I bassically loose my vision and start to feel dizzy. I too thought I may have a tumor, but was relieved to find out otherwise. The heat that you are feeling could infact be nerves, have you ever had a neck or back injury? Like I said I don't know an awful alot about tumors, I just wanted to let you know that headaches, well, more migranes don't always involve pain. I hope that you find the answer that you seak, and I hope that it is good news, rather than not!

I cannot say it enough times, THERE IS NO PAIN!!!! The triage and ER doctors kept saying "pain" "pain" "pain", THERE IS NO PAIN!! Thats is the strangest part of it all,

"On a scale from 1 to 10 how bad is your pain?"
"Have you ever been diagnosed with migraines?"
"Have you taken any pain medication for it?"

NO PAIN!

I think the doctor doing an exam, taking a  history and seeing you will be able to tell much more. It is very hard to describe and it could be so many things other than a tumor - even an atypical headache or vascular issue.

Let us know what the doctor says.
