Symptoms of a brain tumor depend mainly on the size of the tumor and its location in the brain.
Many patients first notice a headache that comes and goes. The headache may be especially bad in the morning and then fade during the day. (It's important to note, though, that the vast majority of headaches are not related to brain tumors, and if you suffer headaches frequently, over a long time, a change in their pattern may not necessarily indicate a tumor either. Check with your doctor if you are in doubt.)
About half of patients with a brain tumor will have seizures -- electrical surges in the brain that can cause convulsions and, in some instances, a loss of consciousness. Many patients develop changes in their behavior or personality, including problems with memory, speech, and concentration. Body movement and sensation can also suffer; some people have numbness in the arms or legs, feel weak and uncoordinated, or stumble when they walk. Still other people will have none of these symptoms or have different symptoms altogether, depending on their body and their particular form of the disease.

Headache, disequilibrium, blurring vision, nausea and vomiting. If you're having headache, it doesn't mean that you have brain tumor. It could be there's some problem with an artery in your brain. The pain is described usually as the worst headache tha you've ever had. Go and see a doctor, diagnosis can only be made with CT scan or MRI there's no way it can be diagnosed without those exams.

Brain cancer symptoms vary on the size of the tumor and the location , it could be as little as blurred vision, or slurred speack, or loss of sensation, i'd imagine that the larger it is the more like a stroke it would appear

Go to the doctor, have them perform various exams, If they think its more serious, go to the hospital, tell them, perhaps ask for a specific doctor for brain tumors, If they say anything about it, then listen, get an MRI or a CT, if that shows anything then you can discuss that with a doctor...
Sympton: Headaches, Nausea, Loss of Concience, Uncoordinated, dizziness, blackouts, being dizzy

This is not a question to ask on here as many similiar symtoms could compare to a simple headache. GO to your doctor.
