If u r having recurring headaches, which sometimes last from a few days to a week, does that mean something bad like a brain tumour?

It's possible...
Go see your doctor if you're really that worried.

Could be a few things already mentioned but have you isolated when these occur? I had a thought that these could be caused by a dodgy gas appliance giving off CO fumes. If you get the headaches when say in one room with a gas appliance going, then get a CO detector and look at the gas flame - it should be blue, not red/yellow, better still get it checked by a corgi registered plumber. In mean time be very careful as this could kill you.

Probably not a brain tumor because if you had a brain tumor your balance would be off and you would be walking on one side more than the other. When you get your headaches does the lights bother you, does anything you take help the pain and do you feel nausea and feel like you are going to vomit? Best thing to do is go to the dr. you might have migranes. The medicine for migranes are expensive I take them so if you do just and FYI medicine is expensive.

My husband started getting bad headaches and did nothing about it. then he ended up in the hospital. Turned out his blood pressure had gotten to high for a long time and he had an anuerysm. If it keeps up or gets really painful you need to have it checked. Make sure they do a CAT scan with and without contrast.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

Not at all, go to the docs and get it checked out. Don't worry though, you have nothing to worry about at all. Is there a pattern to your headaches, ie, do they always happen at the weekend, always after drinking wine, eating cheese, Dairy products, red wine and citrus products are known triggers to cause headaches, try cutting them down or out altogether, worth a try...

It may not be a brain tumor but it can be something very serious....Alot of people that have brain anurisms complain of having major headaches for long periods of time....You may need to go get a cat scan or something!!!!!

No. More likely to be related to tension and stress , migraine, sinuses or blood pressure. Get a general check up done if you're worried.

Probably not. Are you stressed right now cos that may be causing them. Or if you have a lot on your mind. If you are worried though,visit the doc. It can t hurt eh?
