I've been diagnosed with a calcified granuloma in the left frontal lobe of my brain a couple of years ago, and it's really starting to worry me. Lately, I'm having these extreme headaches, and I'm feeling really weak and dizzy, almost as if I'm losing control over my body. Plus, I've had epilepsy in the past with about four seizures already. Could this have anything to do with the granuloma, or should I be looking at something else? What do you think I should do?

Calcified granuloma in the brain can sometimes cause symptoms such as headaches, weakness, dizziness, and loss of body control. Given your medical history of epilepsy and previous fits, it is important to address these new symptoms promptly. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.
