weakness related to schwannoma

[Cucumber0116]

My husband had been diagnosed with 4.2-cm schwannoma on the left in Oct, 2004. He has undergone Gamma Knife therapy where only 1/2 of the tumor was treated. Then in 06/30/2006 he underwent removal of about 80% of the tumor. About two weeks ago, after taking a long nap, he felt that his left face was tingling. (He had Bell's palsy on this side from the Gamma Knife. Now last Sunday, during church, he became hot and clammy and we had to leave. As we were getting to the car, he passed out on the  pavement. Three men helped me get him in the car and I took him to the small hospital here in town where they initially thought he might be having heart problems. He has subsequently had a echocardiogram and we are still awaiting the results of that. Could this possibly be the tumor pressing on a nerve causing him to feel this way. Ever since he had the Gamma Knife treatment, he has had "spells" of feeling a change in his head and has become anxious. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
