“Do I have a brain tumor?”
I have been having really bad head pain, especially at night, and for the last four days, my vision has been odd too. I have had a migraine for just over 2 months now (I think) and just recently it's gotten much worse. The main new thing besides the pain being worse, is I have pain behind my eyes and vision problems. The vision problems include: seeing stars, cloudy/foggy vision and just today things seem to move when they obviously aren't. I also went to the hospital recently for a high heart rate and they're sending me back on June 22nd to get a heart monitor. So, I guess the main question I guess would be should I try to bring it up to them then or go sooner?

Good morning,
most brain tumors do not present with headache, visual symptoms like you described and high heart rate. The simplest way to put your mind at ease is to have your PCP send you for imaging.

Please see a neurologist as soon as possible.
Interesting case. I believe that most of your symptoms are migrainous in nature. But certainly, a CT head is warranted to make sure no intracranial pathology is present. I would have you evaluated by a neurologist first, then plan treatment thereafter.
