Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Most lesions that occupy space in brain like a tumor or clot or cancer cause severe headache or vomiting or dizziness. Depending on the site, they can cause either whole body or part of body to have loss of sensation or abnormal sensation or loss of movement etc. Paralysis is also a possibility.
You need to get examined to rule out a few things such as low blood pressure, postural hypotension (fall in blood pressure, cervical spinal nerve compression, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), severe anemia, an underactive thyroid (called hypothyroidism), overactive thyroid (called hyperthyroidism), adrenal insufficiency (called Addison's disease), GERD or gastric reflux, and internal ear infections. More than brain tumor, any of these could be the likely cause. Take care!
