Brain tumor or overthinking?

Basically over the past few weeks or so I've had a constant light headed with a few headaches. Anyway around 6weeks ago I had a migraine( rarely get them) then a few days later I got a cold. So I'm not sure if The lightheadedness has came from the cold, migraine or something worse

So yeah, me being the 18yr old worrier I am, Is worried that because I've had it for 6weeks now, I could have something serious like a brain tumor.. I have little history of cancer in my family other than my grandad who had prostate cancer and all in all I'm a generally healthy person who never gets headaches or dizziness

I know I may be overreacting but I can't help myself! I've got an appointment at the doctors on the 16th but I'm still very anxious..

So could anyone help with my symptoms and maybe reassure me a little?

-constant lightheaded/dizziness(although still have balance)

-minor headaches(more like a throbbing)

or could someone who knows more about 'tumor' symptoms reassure me?

Appreciate your replies

    Hi Guys, I've had balance issues for approx 6 weeks and been feeling nausea in the night recently for about 2 weeks. Over the last 1 week I've started to get headaches and I've even noticed over the last 3 days I've had headaches and nausea at night. Could this be tumour symptoms ?

    I wonder how Daniel's doctors appt. went. I have been getting dizzy and having light headaches lately. In early November i was told i have eye cancer and with no insurance, it is what it is. Surgery was quoted $8000. and i don't have the money for surgery or to be out of work.

    I'm going to try to schdule an appointment to have an MRI done hopefully tomorrow. I'm tired and stressed so i just want to know what's next.

    I hope and pray Daniel is fine and doing well.
