A Headache is "sometimes" an indication that there is a tumor. Usually a neurologist is referred by your family doctor and specific tests are suggested. It is also a possibility, depending upon the location of a tumor, that an eye exam can expose its existence.

The only sure way to tell is with an MRI or a CAT scan. There are some general symptoms that may lead you to see a doctor sooner which include waking up in the morning with a headache repeatedly, having projectile vomiting, vision changes and even changes in balance. Of course these symptoms can be seen in a number of medical conditions or just in real life so an imaging technique is necessary for the definitive diagnosis.

My Mother had a brain tumor and her first symptoms were very BAD headaches. This was then confirmed by going to doctors when she had a MRI scan. Luckily due to early detection it was successfully removed.

my grandpa realized he had brain tumors when he had a seizure at work....the more effective way to detect brain tumors would be to go to a neurologist and get checked out

When a doctor has confirmed it. You cannot tell wether you have a brain tumour or not by only having the symptoms.

It depends on how severe your symptoms are, most headaches can be cured with a painkiller. migraine headaches are painful and severe but with the right medication can be improved. Go to your doctor and explain the way you feel, your doctor will investigate it fully.
