I have a tumor to. I have been told that if the tumor is large enough
that it would cause these symptoms! I have not yet experienced what your
are and it sounds like you might want to consider removing this tumor.
You'll need to see your doctor, they will prescribe a medicine called
bromocriptine and this will reduce your tumor to a workable size to
remove. If it is large enough it will cause double vision and
dizziness, be carefull, this is serious when it is large. I hope that
you gon to your dr. and ask about meds if you are not on them already.
I hope I was some help!
