So about 3 weeks ago I started noticing like a reduced feeling on the left side of my cheek. Not numb but it felt like it even though I could still feel touch, pain etc. Then last Saturday I ended up in the emergency room because I had a migraine visual aura that usually last around 30 mins but lasted 3 hours and was just not going away. Eventually it did. Whilst in the emergency room I suggested to the doctor that I had a fear that something was seriously wrong. Maybe a brain tumour and I would like a scan to rule it out. The doctor did the usual tests like "can you feel this" "follow my finger" "push against my hand" and then she looked into the back of my eyes. She said it was just a prolonged migraine and I don't need a scan because it isn't a brain tumour or anything serious.
Well since then I have felt really out of it. Like as if I'm in a dream, still getting the reduced feeling on left side of face but yesterday something happened that scared me, I was sitting on the sofa and all of a sudden, I got this strange, not conventionally painful feeling behind my left eye. It was extremely painful but as I say, not conventionally. The only way I can explain it, is when you go out in super cold snowy weather and you get that ice cold headache, or brain freeze but it was behind my eye and lasted about 1 hour - 1hour 30.
I'm so scared I have a tumour but the doctor won't give me a scan to rule it out. I'm convinced I have one. And it's driving me insane. I have no idea what to do.

I also forgot to mention I have had a lack of apittite and feeling sick for the last couple of weeks as well.
