You don't know if the two incidents are related. I have felt like that, and it was because my sinuses were clogged due to allergies. Another time it was because I had a simple ear infection. Could it be something completely separate? I'm not a mother yet, but I am sure the stress/exhaustion of having a new baby could weaken your immune system!

Hi sorry you have had a bit of a scare but best solutin is go and get your eyes tested, I had the same in PC world (no connection I am sure LOL) and when I asked it is called an occular migrain or thats what they told me mine was, I then had headaches for 11 weeks and finaly went Docs who said opticians, he changed my prescription and gave me the all clear, havent had on since but will know what it is if I do.
Brain tumours rarely have symptoms so try not to read more into what is very probably caused by all the stress you are coping with, put baby in pram and go for some fresh air that helps me.

who cares how its spelt so long as you are feeling a bit more possitive, the sooner you get them checked the better you will feel better then I promise.

dont worry, we spell it tumor in the USA, so both are right
