Q. What are the symptoms for Brain Tumour?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Brain tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Common symptoms of a brain tumor include headaches, balance problems, vision changes, nausea, vomiting, confusion and cognitive changes.
Headaches are one of the most common symptoms associated with brain tumors. These types of headaches may be worse in the morning or when you first wake up. You may also experience headaches that worsen with activity or increased physical exertion. Balance problems are another common symptom associated with brain tumors. The affected individual may have difficulty standing upright due to dizziness and general imbalance issues. Vision changes can range from blurriness to double vision (diplopia) and tunnel vision depending on the location of the tumor within the brain tissue itself.
Nausea and vomiting without any other signs/symptoms could be indicative of a more serious medical issue such as a brain tumor so it is important to get this checked out if these symptoms persist for more than 24 hours at a time without relief from over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen etc.. Confusion is another symptom related to potential underlying psychiatric disorders but if any other concerning medical conditions have been ruled out then it is important to consider further investigations for a possible problem within the central nervous system including that related to potential cancerous lesions such as tumours in this instance involving the brain tissue itself thus requiring urgent medical attention from healthcare professionals with experience in this particular field of medicine for both diagnosis as well treatment where applicable . Cognitive changes refer specifically towards difficulties experiencing difficulty remembering things such as previously learnt information/skills which again can point towards various underlying possibilities one being that relating directly towards potentially cancerous lesions located around or within specific areas within our brains thus requiring skilled dedicated specialists intervene via proper supportive care & intervention where needed .
