Worried but would like imput.MRI on brain
Back in october of 2007 I was at a move with my brother. I passed out during the movie and therfor set in place to go see the doctor, to make sure I was alright. I went and she set me up with many tests. EEG EKG etc etc.. an MRI. I saw a neurologist as well. He said he felt I was just a "fainter" and the other tests didn't find anything wrong with me.
Well I went to get my MRI in late march. The doctors office called me to tell me to come in (today) for the results.. I went in and she told me "they found something" but that they were not sure waht it was. It was on my front left lobe. And that I needed to go get blood tests and then go get a DYE induced MRI. SIDE NOTE: they told me to get the other MRI before I knew the results anyway. this was coming already. SO I sit here today, worried about the worst case scenarios... as well as thinking of the possibilities that it's nothing (a shadow) or possibly a non serious problem. I'm not looking to be calmed down, but would seriously appreciate any questions or comments anyone has about this.
NOTE: I get alot of headaches and jaw aches. Also.. My dad had these tests done about 3 years ago.. his doctor even said "possible tumor" on both sides.. but it wasn't. It was a minor stroke. Besides fainting three times in my life and headaches off and on week to week.. I have had no other symptoms of say.. a brain tumor or anything that I am aware of.
Comments would be really appreciated.

I know it's tough for you to tell from only what I have give you. But would you say having no other symptons besides headaches is a positive sign? I mean, I wouldnt even be getting these tests if I had not passed out in the theatre.
Hi, headaches at your age are due to migraine but could be due to space occupying lesion in brain too (granuloma, tumor, cyst etc). These space occupying lesions presents with other neurological deficits like limb weakness, paralysis etc along with headaches.
Wait for report and better don’t anticipate much as frontal lobe lesions are rarely related with fainting episodes.
