Brief Answer:
Not need to worry but get tested .

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

There are many causes of Dizziness . From Simple and easily treatable causes to serious ones .

Common causes are :

1. Low or High Blood pressure .
2. Low levels of Sodium in blood .
3. Anemia.
4. Vitamin Deficiency.
5. Problems in Heart.
6. Problems in Inner ear.
7. Problems in Brain.

In my practise I would recommend my patients to do one set of tests which are as follows :

Complete Hemogram, Serum TSH, Serum Vitamin B12, ECG and Blood pressure testing .

If these tests come normal then I would advise them to get a Ear check up by an ENT doctor and if that turns out to be normal I will advise for MRI brain.

You can follow the same method .

Brief Answer:
Get MRI Brain scan.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I still feel its not tumor and you can get tested for the other conditions first as advised before.

But if you are really very anxious then go get an MRI brain scan , this will clear your doubts of Brain tumour.
