I would reccommend an MRI as a "rule out tool", about 5 yrs ago I suffered every CH symptom and an MRI showed a brain tumor close to my optic and trigimenial nerve. I have had CH since, and it is now thought that I started with CH and the MRI showed the tumor instead of the tumor coming first and then the CH, and if if had not been for CHs the tumor would not have been found until it had gotten larger. It is such a non-invasive test, I have had about 4 MRIs over the past 5 yrs and was even in the machine during a major power failure....argh...The MDs were grateful It was I in the machine and not someone else who may have suffered a melt down...
