Im like 95% sure I don't since my symptoms don't seem that extreme, I'm pretty young and as far as im aware i dont have any family history of brain tumours but I should probably maybe get it checked out just in case it's something else

    If it's impacting your daily life to that extent it definitely sounds like you should go. It's probably not a tumor (I'm not a doctor though), but it's something. Maybe go to an urgent care, or maybe your PCP/GP if you can get an appointment within a couple days and depending on how it develops. I don't think you need to mention a tumor, just say you have a weird feeling in that specific spot.

    If you plan on driving yourself, take it slow at first and see if your ability to drive is too impaired. If it is, get someone else to take you.

    Or if you live in a country with free healthcare you could probably just call for an ambulance and go to an ER. I don't know if that's overkill, but if you think you need it, it will be fine (if you're not in America).
