Hello,

It might have been useful if you could have mentioned your age and medical history, whether there are any risk factors for conditions like stroke.

However such new onset headache, vomiting and balance issue must be investigated. Given its acute nature, the first possibility would be that of a stroke, but other hypotheses like tumors are possible as well. For that reason, brain imaging is necessary given the persisting nature. I understand the insurance is an issue, but at least be seen in the ER, I am not certain how the system works where you live, in most countries if an emergency you are investigated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olsi Taka,
