Brain tumor?

Question

I got a brain scan done 2 and a half years ago because i was getting dizzy and it was clear. Could a brain tumor have developed between then and now?

Answer 1

It's possible but statistically unlikely.

Answer 2

Probably not. Most brain tumors are slow growing. Brain tumors do not exhibit symptoms until they grow to a fairly sizable mass. Even then, the first symptoms are vague and may include headaches, muscle incoordination, vision changes, naseau/vomiting, logic difficulties, speech problems and, personality changes.

As for the previous poster, "premed student" = undergraduate. I've heard heard of a "medical physics" major? What school offers that? Most of what you wrote is correct. However, brain tumors rarely spread outside the brain but, I wouldn't expect you to know that since you're just an undergrad.

Answer 3

Yes. Cancer cells are very unpredictable. Tumors can be slow in growth at one time yet by the next time you get a check-up, it has spread to major organs.
First of all, have you been experiencing any anomalies in neural functions? Have you been experiencing frequent or recurring headaches? Are you experiencing dizziness or nausea or disorientation more often? Have your reflexes been slower or abnormal? Has there been any impediment in the way you sense things with your five senses? Do you have any problems in thinking, recalling, learning or any other mental activities?
If you answered yes to most of the previous questions you should see a doctor. Take care!

Answer 4

Most of the time with brain tumors you will have really bad headaches along with been dizzy. But just to make sure I would go to the doctor and have it checked out. good luck

Answer 5

Brain tumors can develop anytime. Are you still getting dizzy or are you experiencing some other symptom? Dizziness can be due to poor circulation, inner ear problem or infection, hypertension, heart, etc.

Answer 6

My loved ones, nurses and preachers. I've obvious each, a tumor is a development in or at the mind. Where the aneurysm is a vein inside the mind that blows and leaks blood into the encircling tissue. so much men and women die of the aneurysm, that's speedy. Standing there speakme and they're long past. Of the 2 take the aneurysm.

Answer 7

sure it could of but I think you should go to a ear nose and throat doctor if you're still getting dizzy

Answer 8

Absolutely. But MANY things can cause dizzyness, including diet soda. Best of luck.

Answer 9

See an otolaryngologist. This is probably an inner ear problem.

Answer 10

I think you being a little but of a hypochondriac. Unless you have new symptoms, I wouldn't worry about.
