What Causes Head Pressure And Weakness In Legs And Arms?

I have been having weird symptoms for over 2 years now. I have been experiencing dull head pressure 24/7 jittery feeling, like being anxious. Right arm and leg gets weak off and on, and clicking noise when I turn my head from side side. My right eye has pressure a lot, because I did get hit with a softball my freshman year of high school but that was years ago. I had a cat scan two years ago, and it came back normal. I am worried about possible brain tumors or something. Roshaunda Hayes

Hello 1
I understand your concern.
In my opinion a brain tumor is the less probable diagnosis in your situation.
It may be just migraine. Your head CT scan has resulted normal, so this is a high probable diagnosis.
I would like to know more of the duration of the headache , is it preceded by the weakness in the right arm and leg? Do you have members of the family suffering from Migraine ? How long do weakness in right limbs last?
Another probable diagnosis would be partial epilepsy , but the headache is not typical. I would recommend an EEG to rule out epilepsy.
Hope to have been helpful!
Thank you for using HCM.
