I don't know much about brain tumors, but sometimes I will just be standing somewhere and get so dizzy for like 2 seconds. And when cross country was in season I would run my workout and feel fine but then right when stopped running I would get so dizzy. I also get headaches from going up the stairs at my school. Also, my head hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes all fall out more than normal.

See your doctor and get a CT scan. Your reasons for not seeing a doctor are totally unfounded. Most brain tumors are benign and the prognosis is good. There are more treatment options all the time. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor over 4 years ago, had surgery to remove it and I've been living a normal life ever since. What makes you think you would need a spinal tap? You may not have a brain tumor, but your symptoms suggest that something is going on. You need to get it checked out before you have an accident and injure yourself or someone else.

I'm not a doctor, but please try not to panic. Though, please make an appointment with your family doctor. He or she may want to send you for some blood work and/or a CT (computerized tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan.
There are many factors that may result in dizziness and/or one's hair falling out. The dr may send you for the blood test to rule out thyroid disorder, iron/mineral deficiency or such. There are some with dizziness who may benefit from going to an ENT (ear, nose and throat) doctor and the symptoms of dizziness may be from a vestibular (inner ear) disorder. Just an fyi that for those with a vestibular disorder, some may get helped from vestibular therapy or balance retraining. A physical therapist (PT) usually would administer such a plan (if applicable to the individual).
Another fyi that in order to receive any type of physical therapy, a medical doctor usually needs to give a referral to the patient. (For PT of the jaw, however, a dentist would need to refer the individual.)

Fantastic! You have a new, non-invasive method for detecting tumors!
No?
Better see a doctor.
