Question 1

blood work, eye test blood pressure all normal, should i relax about brain tumor? dizziness head/face pressure nausea sometimes 23, health anxceity !

Accepted Answer

Neurology: Some tumors are small enough to not cause symptoms. The only way to 100% know if there is no intracranial tumor is first, a thorough neurological exam, then an mri.

Question 2

i'm afraid i have a brain tumor. could dizziness and nausea from a brain tumor get better or ease up over time (one week) or would they get worse?

Accepted Answer

Brain Tumor?: Dizziness & nausea are very non-specific symptoms. While they may be a sign of a brain tumor, they may also follow a concussion, many viral illnesses, middle ear/sinus infections, and a whole panoply of other things. Did you suffer a head injury? Do you have any other symptoms, like a fever, pain in the sinuses, headache, or blurred vision? Consult your doctor if it doesn't clear up in a few days.

Question 3

i'm afraid i have a brain tumor. could dizziness and nausea from a brain tumor get better over time. i now have headaches with little nausea?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Unlikely you have a brain tumor based on your symptoms but if you have any concern, you should get seen.

Question 4

when someone has brain tumor, does the dizziness usually come with severe symptoms? or is it usually without other symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Hmm...: Depending on the site in the brain where a potential tumor is...  The symptoms can be varied...  
Often, most tumor are discovered because symptoms are persistent.  Dizziness is very non-specific...  Vertigo would be more specific.
When someone is taking Claritin (loratadine) and sudafed, they can get dizzy

Question 5

when a hypochondriac worries about having a brain tumor due to dizziness/vertigo being only symptoms, what the chances they do have one?

Accepted Answer

Neurology consult: Brain tumors are rare on the scale of overall cancers accounting for approximately less than 2% of all cancers worldwide.  Some can be primary lesions of the brain and some can be metastatic from disease in other parts of the body.  A thorough Neurology evaluation can look for tell tale signs of brain disease, and if there has already been negative imaging studies, that can be a reassuring step.

Question 6

mri worth ?had good neuro and blood test afraid of  brain tumor symptomps; headackes dizzy but i have pots hip back hands pain and leg weaknes insomni

Accepted Answer

May Be Useful: Although blood pressure does not necessarily fall, symptoms are similar to low blood pressure and can consist of dizziness, fainting, headache, sweating, shakiness, nausea, poor concentration and memory, discolored hands and feet, sense of anxiety, chest pains and many others - mostly worse when standing.  Though these may not be diagnostic of brain tumor a ct or MRI may be useful to rule it out.

Question 7

what percentage of cases does dizziness indicate brain tumor? i read that actually brain tumor is rare with dizziness

Accepted Answer

Tumors & dizziness: Very rare, mostly metastatic tumors in brain from other organs.

Question 8

i have anxiety and think i have a brain tumor bc i get dizzy sometimes. would a doctor recommend a brain scan? ekg and bloodwork were fine

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depending on the dr you see, and the symptoms you have, at least some sort of imaging of your brain may be warranted in a dizzy work up if all other tests continue to be negative.  Without a family history or other symptoms, a brain tumor would be very low on a "differential diagnosis" list.  There are many more common causes of dizziness, most commonly inner ear issues.  Best wishes.

Question 9

earache and headache. feeling of pressure in my brain., ears are clogged pain behind eyes, and sometime i feel a slight dizziness. brain tumor??

Accepted Answer

Below: At your age, it is more likely to be caused by an ear or sinus problem.
Just make an apt with your DR if it continues, and with an exam you will get a accurate DX

Question 10

im 22 with dizziness what are my chances of dizziness mean a brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: The differential diagnosis of dizziness is difficult.  Otologists and neurologists see the majority of these patients and often do not make a specific diagnosis.  Dizziness is a generic term and does not tell the specialist much.  Are you spinning? (vertigo) are you light-headed? Do you have any numbness or tingling?  The chances of a brain tumor are very unlikely.  See physician for a diagnosis.
