Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Pressure And Pain Near My Left Temple Area

Posted on Tue, 15 Feb 2022

Question: I have been having intermittent pressure near my left temple area that isn't painful. It is felt every 15 minutes and occurs all day, No other symptoms. I had an mri w and w/o contrast 4 months ago and all was well but this pressure is either new or back again. Would it be possible to develop a brain tumor in that short a time? I'm sur I don't have a lung or kidnet metastisis and doubt prostrate(PSA=1.29)1. Thanks in advance.

Brief Answer:
Not likely to be tumor

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

This is extremely unlikely to have such a presentation due to tumor. The tumor manifests due to its size related symptoms or location related.
The headache seems to be anxiety related.
Another possibility of giant cell arteritis should be evaluated. Blood ESR levels should be tested.
Not likely to be prostate cancer with such a low PSA levels.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
