asked by: DoctorQuestion on August 17th, 2009

Hello, my name is Tarek. I'm from Lebanon. i've been having unstable vision and dizziness for few month...and when i chew, my face becomes bigger in size. My ear was filled with wax and it got cleaned by a doctor. unstable vision still exists. I neither have headaches nor vission loss. the doctor says i have muscle weakness on my left side of my face. Are those brain cancer symptoms?

Muscle weakness on one side of the face can result from several disorders, including Bell's palsy, stroke, and brain tumors.

You should ask your doctor to perform a CT scan or MRI scan of your brain, and also refer you to a Neurologist.
