I'm pretty scared. What are the signs or symptoms of a brain tumor?

Question

I'd rather not talk about it, but help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

If you feel like there is a problem, see a Dr. immediately. If there was enough there to make you come here and write about it then you need to pick up the telephone and call a Dr. and make an appointment. Chances are very slim that you have a brain tumor but there could be any number of other issues going on.

Answer 2

The symptoms depend on where the tumor is located. And some are simply silent, or even masquerade as other conditions altogether.

You could see dizziness, severe headaches, trouble with memory or motor control, or even something as mild (or not so mild) as personality changes.

Only a doctor would have the equipment needed to see if there is in fact a tumor.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Honestly the only thing that will ease your mind, is if you can have your doctor schedule a MRI for you. I had severe headaches all of my life, and just recently I would go through dizzy spells. So I told my doc my fear and asked if I could have a MRI done- I had it done that afternoon and got the results a day or 2 later. Obviously nothing was wrong, but I was so relieved to hear it from the reports. Don't worry too much about it- I know that's hard, but just take deep breaths and go to your doctor. Take care :)

Answer 4

There are no definitive answers to this question because you can grow one without any major symptoms.

Gross motor skill or vision changes would make me think brain tumor - but I'd go immediately to a physician and be tested if you think you have one- and I did, and I had one that was small and taken out.My indicator was a loss of vision in one quadrant.

Answer 5

Severe headaches, dizziness, numbness and tingling on one side of your body, one pupil dilated or a different size than the other, vision difficulties, seeing spots...
