Signs and symptoms of brain tumors

The signs and symptoms of a brain tumor vary depending on its location,

Many brain tumors produce symptoms that are related to pressure in and around the brain. There is limited space inside the skull and a tumor or extra tissue can result in an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP).

Headache
Nausea and vomiting
Blurred vision
Drowsiness or lethargy

Headaches are a common symptom of a brain tumor.

In addition to the generalized symptoms, a brain tumor may cause specific symptoms directly related to the location of the tumor. It can cause irritation or damage to parts of the brain that control certain functions. Specific symptoms can include:


Seizures
Weakness or numbness of a body part
Difficulty with motor movements, such as walking or speaking
Problems with thinking and communication
Personality changes

should consult a physician for a medical diagnosis.

well i would look at family history and see if there was a presence of cancer and if so brain tumors. i would also tell the doctor to give me a cat scan or mri or whatever to look and see when i see the doctor. those kinds of things are expensive though. but normally tumors don't cause headaches. they just hinder the brain. have u been have bad weather there lately?lots of people get chronic headaches when a low pressor system comes in. but i still would reccomend a doctors assesment

Well, my godma had the same problem as you... for her, her problem was migraine.. it would be so bad tat she would have nauea and she would ache all over...

She did a detox programme, lost 9kg within a month and also got rid of this problem..

For me, I used to have some headaches now and then.. but after I did a detox, i lost 15kg within two months and my headaches are now gone and have been gone since 2002 :)

Answer 4

My husband has these too, they are called cluster headaches, very common for men. But, the important thing is going to the Doctor so they can rule out other causes, just to be on the safe side, many people have horrible headaches/migranes and they are not due to cancer at all. To lessen your worries please see a doctor.

Answer 5

sounds like migraine headaches because your symptoms dont suggest a brain tumor, but its always a good idea to contact your doc when you have any concerns about your health.

Answer 6

It is unlikely that you have a brain tumour. It is much more likely that you are having migraine attacks or that you need to check your eyesight. However it would be best to go back to your doctor for a professional diagnosis.

Answer 7

ITS NOT A TUMOR!!( said with an Arnold Schwazenegger accent)

Answer 8

i would go back to the doctor and tell them your worries, ask them to refer you to a scan, if u are so worried, its better to be safe then sorry and it is obviously worrying you,
i am sure theres nothing wrong but u can not be too careful
wish u the best of luck
