It's symptoms of brain tumor? thanks.

Answer
Not necessarily or even probably. However without an examination it is impossible to tell you what this is or what it is not. So I do suggest that you let a neurologist check you! An MRI brain scan can exclude or confirm any suspicion of a brain tumor. Good luck!
