Could this be a Brain Tumor?
Hello,
Im 19 years old, with a lazy eye, and lately i have been experiencing double vision, and headaches. Im not sure if its due to my eyes or a brain tumor. I had a brain scan about 5 years ago, and it came out negative. I have weird sensations in my head, but that can be due to anxiety too.
For almost 2 weeks now ive had double vision, but ive had it before like a year ago too... for almost like 3 years, i also have spots in my vision.
Also, i have a lot of neck tension i have like about 10 knots in my neck literally. I cant go to the eye doctor because i have no insurance...and im not sure what to do from here.

Also, i may add i went to the ER for chest pain and they put me on some Anti-anxiety medication (ativan) and ever sense i took that i have had double vision and really bad mood swings to the point where i burst out crying, stopped taking it two days ago. Could the Ativan be causing my double vision?

And if i had a brain tumor wouldn't my eye doctor have noticed it the first time i had double vision about almost 4 years ago?
I also get really weird jerks and stuff.

I would love to go to the eye doctor to get my eyes checked again, but cant with no insurance. =[

Thanks for your time.

I am sorry that you are going through this, Is there a free or low cost clinic that you could go to for an exam?
