Does this sound like a brain tumor?

Before anyone says go to a doctor, I am tomorrow but I am anxious and very worried and here to hopefully find some "good news". I had a bout of double vision twice on december 2nd about 3 hours apart. Each one lasted five minutes. Then tonight I had another bout that also lasted 5 minutes. I've been stressed out to the max and I suffer from migraines. I have suffered from many different types of migraines ie. rentinal, sensory, etc. and wasn't sure if this is another type of migraine or if its more of a characteristic of brain tumors. I am a 20 year old male.

    These things are common when you have migraines. I have chronic migraines which started about 8 years ago. I haven't been diagnosed with brain tumor yet. So until you doctor confirms please do not freak out.

    I was iagnosed with ocular migraines, but it was a brain tumor... The only way to find out is, get a scan.

    Sounds more like what is called an ocular migraine.....it often precedes a migraine but you can also have it and the actual migraine not follow. BUT you need to be checked by your doctor to be sure!

    Although headaches are quite common with Brain Tumors, Neurological deficits usually occur and is a red flag for any doctor suspecting a brain tumor.
