Question 1

Doctors, what are the different symptoms for migraine headaches and brain tumors?

Accepted Answer

A secondary headache is an organic headache that is symptomatic of an underlying problem. These conditions include some of the more ominous conditions (e.g., brain tumors, brain hemorrhage) as well as some benign conditions such as sinus infections and allergies. When evaluating a patient&#x27;s headache or migraine it is imperative to exclude a secondary headache.

Question 2

Help please? i want to know what are the different symptoms for migraine headaches and brain tumors?

Accepted Answer

Migraine would be unilateral throbbing, with nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to light and noise, and eventual full recovery.  Brain tumor is more insidious, with more consistent aching as the size increases, if it is causing increased pressure, but more likely will seem like a slowly worsening stroke, or may present with a seizure, blurring or doubling of vision.

Question 3

How can i know the difference between a migraine headache and a brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Brain tumors are VERY rare and unfortunately MIGRAINE headaches are VERY common. A good history and physical is needed to rule out "Warning  Flag" Headaches. Imaging is rarely needed, but it is the ONLY way to CONFIRM a brain tumor.

Question 4

How can i tell the difference between a migraine headache and a brain tumor?

Question 5

Do i have a brain tumor as i have been experiencing a severe headache since a long time(i am a migraine patient)alongwith weakness , pain in my body...?

Accepted Answer

You need  a brain ct or MRI to check for any structural cause of headache.

Question 6

I have migraine but lately i have frequent headache on front, back head and one side. every morning my head hurts when i wake up and i have headache almost every day. could it be brain tumor? and there is part of my head middle always in pain.

Accepted Answer

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you, however, brain tumor is not high on the list of suspected lesions. One item to consider is that you may be grinding your teeth in your sleep and muscle tension is causing pain. You may start with your dentist to try a mouth guard at night.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

I had an ocular migraine yesterday.  how dangerous are those? does it mean i have a brain tumor? or that i will have a stroke?

Accepted Answer

Please review this link: http://www.relieve-migraine-headache.com/ocular-migraine-stroke.html  Be sure you actually have an ocular migraine or is it just a symptom of a migraine with aura.  There is some evidence which shows an increased risk of stroke with certain types of migraines.  Nonetheless, you should lower  your risks of stroke by NOT smoking, checking your blood pressure and lipids.

Question 8

Severe migraine for about two weeks. no seizures or any other symptoms other than feeling weak and tired. should i be worried about a brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Whenever there is a change in the nature of your migraine, you should see your own physician who treats it.

Question 9

Asking for a friend  she wants to know if  temple hurting and dizziness and eye pain are signs of brain tumor. i told her it was prolly a migraine?

Accepted Answer

A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting,  dizziness, changes in vision, numbness/ tingling or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head. Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins.

Question 10

Postdromal migraine or brain tumor? mild pain on left side of head, ringing ears, ear fullness and dizziness for 4 days after week long migraine.

Accepted Answer

If you add the acute headache days and the 4 postdromal days, you qualify for "Chronic Daily Migraine" pattern and should seek neurological consultation.  We have numerous preventative medications especially the newer CGRP items, and these can break up the pattern.  If you worry about a brain tumor, please realize that described symptoms are paroxysmal, inconsistent with a steadily growing mass.
