Do i have a possible brain tumor?

I'm 15, almost 16 years old, around 2-3 months ago i suffered a headache at school (i  rarely get headaches) and had never suffered one of this severity it was also just one half of my head, i also lost my vision for about 15 minutes, by lost my vision i mean my vision was significantly  i couldn't focus anything and there was a half moon shape in the middle of my vision, i got taken straight to the doctors and the doctor said it was simply a migrain, however the headache returned the following day and my parents took me to the ER, to be honest, they made me feel like an idiot and that i had nothing to worry about so they sent me home, the symptoms went away and i dismissed it, about 1 month ago, i was in class and put my head down on the desk, when i sat back up i couldn't focus anything, it was disturbing and freaked me out, objects on the desk where i was sitting were simply blurrs and so was the teacher at the front of the class this subsided after about 15 minutes again.  between now and then i have had a few mornings where i have woke up with headaches, it's so strange, my right eye also feels sensitive and tender, and slightly painful when rubbed or when i look in certain directions, and this is going to sound idiotic but i feel there may be a very slight pressure at the back of it, i am really very very very scarred, can someone please offer some advice?

Hello.

The fever would indicate an infection. And if you have an infection of the optic nerve, you get eye pain on movement of eyes.

It looks like migraine to me.

Hello.

The headache, vision problems, and the pain in the eyes may sum up to migraine. But there are other possibilities also that should have been considered.

I would like to ask if you have had fever. And were you seen by an Ophthalmologist ? I suggest you take an appointment soon.

Any optic nerve pathology needs to be ruled out.

Regards
