Please get a CT scan of brain done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms- headache and balance issues for a few days. In addition, you have action tremors of left arm.

A CT scan of the brain should be done to exclude a blood clot/infection or a tumor. If the brain scan is negative, symptomatic treatment can be given for headache and tremors.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
