Thank you for your question. These symptoms may occur due to any tumor in brain, but if all of your reports came back normal this will be the least likely possibility. Therefore, in your case this could be a panic or anxiety disorder that you have faced during last event and currently experiencing. Cause of such panic disorder mostly remain unknown but in this disorder you may feel symptoms like shortness of breath, feeling of choking, pain in the chest, nausea, stomach ache, feeling dizzy, tingling or numbness, chills /hot flashes, bounding heartbeat or fast heart rate, sweating, shaking etc. even without any underlying disorder. This disorder needs to be thoroughly assessed by a psychiatrist first since this can occur repeatedly and without warning.  Treatments may include psychological and drug treatments, and depend upon extent of severity of symptoms. Most commonly psychological treatment tried is counseling, relaxation techniques and sometimes cognitive behavior therapy. ************** depends upon treating the underlying depressive illness through anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medicines.  In addition, try to rest in a dark & quiet room, meditate, have a balanced diet, regularly exercise and avoid taking unnecessary non prescription drugs to avoid recurrence of symptoms. Hope this helps!!

Brain tumors will most likely include neurological symptoms such as uneven pupil dilatation, no reactions to light from pupils (uni or bilateral) and impairments of cognitive functions such as speech and vision.

What could make you sure you don't have a brain tumor is a CT-Scan of the brain. That would also rule out any sings of lesions. When it comes to neuroimaging it's good to know that CT-Scan is not the best way to go as it exposes you to useless radiations. MRI is a better way to go even tho it is expansive.
