symptoms of brain tumor?

Question

I am 22 years old and I started getting headaches similar to migraines a year ago but I had them like once a month. Now the last 2 month they have gotten stronger and lasted for up to 2 weeks. They are always on one side of the head and when they occur the pain goes down towards my ears and eyes, I get very dizzy, there has been vomitting with the headaches (once). I also feel numbness on the face and hands. I also noticed that I get very thirsty! My doctor says it seems to be a typical migraine but Im concerned it could me worst.......Does anyone have any answers for me...Thanks

Answer 1

there are so many symptoms, but none r a guarantee to tell wether it is a tumor or bleed or just a migraine. do a simple neuro test when u have a really bad headache, let someone check your pupills, see if they are even in size and if they react to light, also squeeze on of their fingers to see if u have equal strenght with both hands. also if i were u i would tell my doctorthat u insist on a referral to a neurologist, as the specialist for nerves and brain they can tell u better than a regular family practice doc....................good luck !

Answer 2

If your doctor said that i would believe him or get a second opinion ..sounds like a typical migraine to me but im not a doctor but if you are worried go to another doctor and let them give you a cat scan and mri and all those thousand dollar test and make sure that your first doctor was lying..Its funny I have all the same symptoms and much weirder than that and they say its anxiety or migraine and two doctors tell me the same thing and a specialist and three nurses that are personal friends but frankly I think they dont know and are guessing .. so just keep on looking and someone will find something .. dont let them tell you what you dont want to believe but personally i cant afford to keep going so if I die i die what can i say ..its fate..
