Question 2

i had one sided headaches. do i have any symptoms of a brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Likely migraine: There are different types of headache- migraine and tension headaches are the most common ones. Migraine headaches usually are one sided headaches- can be preceeded with aura, hallucination etc- also can be associated with photosensitivity etc. Although brain tumor also can give headache- but it is unlikely in your case. Having said that- go to see your md and have yourself checked.

Question 3

scared i have a brain tumor. only getting headaches on temples when i workout hard (cardio). usually one sided. its been going on for like 2 weeks. in good health and just had cbc a few mo ago come back great?

Accepted Answer

Exercise HA's: Your headaches could be migraine events.  You do not mention other problems, nor do you seem to have had any testing.  What has occurred for you to become frightened, over the past 2 weeks?  Have you seen your doctor, and if not, good idea to do so.  Also, we could schedule Concierge visit here at HT to address these issues.

Question 4

headaches  occur couple times in a month, usually one sided and dull and hurt behind my eye. is this a sign of stroke or brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Likely not: Likely migraine.See your doctor and get a workup for the headaches.

Question 5

hi doc, of late my head shakes involuntarily, and hve been having one sided headaches. do i hve a brain tumor? pls advise.

Accepted Answer

Doubt a tumor: Several considerations, as the head shaking can be a sign of heredofamilial tremor or essential tremor, but cerebellar tremors could also be a cause.  The unilateral headaches could be due to jaw, dental, or migraine mechanisms.  Suggest you have your doctor evaluate you, and provide advice and treatment.

Question 6

can anxiety cause leg weakness on both legs and head buzzing? i am worried i have a brain tumor. no seizures or headaches or one sided symptoms. my legs both feel weak and my head is buzzing sometimes. mri of spine showed slight disk protrusion?

Accepted Answer

: Anxiety can cause almost anything but that combo would be unusually. Your body is talking to you.   Listen and take good notes.  Share with your team.   You all should be able to figure out what is going on.  There are a whole bunch of disks. Which was protruding?  Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar or what????

Question 7

having headaches everyday, not bad then have sharp & stabbing on one side or other. face on that side will hurt. do i need to be checked for brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Tumor not likely: You are not likely to have brain tumor, based on the symptoms you described. However, you should see your doctor for evaluation and treatment.

Question 8

i have a headache on one side of my head that randomly comes and goes everyday. i think its a cluster headache. i also kicked a soccer ball today and can barely feel my toe. no pain, feels like foot drop. is this from kick or do i have brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

: You appear to be conjuring escalating disorders and self-diagnosing dire conditions.  Suggest you discuss your concerns in more thorough detail via a virtual consult to get down to the bottom of all of this.   (www.connect@healthtap.com).

Question 9

would a brain tumor headache make your head sore to touch when pressed?  feel tender spots and intermittent pain in back of head on one side, sometimes goes up to ear and temple. going on for a year several times a month. normal neuro exam but no mri

Accepted Answer

Tumor: A brain tumor is protected by the skull and wouldn't be tender to the touch. Your symptom is highly suggestive of a pinched occipital nerve which exits the neck at the base of the skull and travels up the scalp, behind the ear and toward the temple. Consult a neurologist and appropriate testing and treatment will be obtained.

Question 10

i've been having tension type headaches for the past few days or so. it happens only at night and top/sides of the head. is this a brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Highly unlikely: Your symptoms aren't at all the classical or common ones we hear from people who end up complaining of headaches which turn out to be associated with the growth of brain tumors. Headaches ONLY at night time for example &amp; ONLY on the top &amp; sides of the head (i.e. practically the whole head) &amp; without focal neurological complaints do not suggest tumor. See doc for more information).
