Brain tumour?

I'm only turning 19 this year later in August.
However I can not deny significant changes in my body have been occuring.

I now easily get nauseous and dizzy when riding rides, cars, buses, something I never used to suffer from.

I also feel extremely tired and need to sleep about more than 12hours to feel almost 100%.

Even more recently, I am starting to experience few headaches on a more regular basis, again something new.

Should I be worried?

How do I approach GP's? I can't just blurt I want scans or some medical procedure done.

Thank you.

Hey-
This could be a million things but have your doctor check your AM cortisol and thyroid levels. Both can cause fatigue.

That may or may not be a brain tumor.
I would go see a doctor, I would not wait on symptoms - but I would see what the doctor evaluates and diagnoses you for - as it could be hormonal, vitamin deficiency, a tumor elsewhere, etc.
Go see a doctor.

EDIT: Also What other symptoms should I be on the lookout for?
