Could this be a pseudotumor?

Since 14 months I’ve been experiencing brainzaps or brain shakes. They make me dizzy and nauseous. I used to have these once a day... it got worse and worse and today I have them literally every freaking five minutes so intense my entire body shakes. I had a brain CT and EEG done, everything was “fine” I kept begging for a mri but the doctors just deny me. I don’t take any pills that could cause this. I’m honestly so exhausted... I lay in bed right now and even typing this is exhausting because of all the brainzaps I have ... I shared it in this thread because I honestly don’t know where else to share

    Pseudo tumor  occurs when the pressure inside your skull increases for no obvious reason.Symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor, but no tumor is present. Pseudo tumor can occur  in children and adults, but it's most common in women of childbearing age who are obese.
