Answer
Since you have had these problems for years and is only 18 years old they most probably have nothing to do with any tumor. But it is obvious that you do need help which however is impossible to give without an examination. So I do suggest that you let a dr. - preferably a neurologist - check you! Good luck! And PLEASE STOP SMOKING!
