herceptin side effects or brain mets

hi all
was wondering if anyone had a similar experience to me. i have had 5 doses of herceptin so far which i think i have dealt with ok. but about a month ago i had lots of little incidents start.
1) my scalp felt tender in 3 places when i was playing with my hair. at first i thought it was sunburn from a recent holiday but it is still there. i finished chemo end of may...could it be because my hair is still growing.
2) i have headaches but they are not severe...just constant
3) i have funny sensations in my head 2 or 3 times a day for a few seconds
4) i have a dizzy spell every 3 days but only for a second or two
5) and about every 3 days i have zigzag flashing in my eyes for about 5 minutes
6) nausea most of the day

i went to the gp and she ruled out an ear infection and high blood pressure so she is arranging a brain ct scan..just to be sure she says. i'm hoping it is something to do with the herceptin.

can anyone relate to theses symptoms with either brain mets or herceptin

many thanks in advance
