Hi,

As you have mentioned, blood tests, MRI brain scan and clinical evaluation is the right method to proceed with in the case of unexplained headaches, lethargy and head swelling, tiredness and balance problems. There can be problems in the brain or balance mechanism that can cause the symptoms. The MRI brain scan will tell if there is any area or concern or if the nerves and inner ear structures are having any problems.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vivek Chail, Radiologist
