Question 1

23yo female so scared i have a brain tumor just have a feeling of pressure at the top and side of my head. doesnt get any worse no other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Relax, see dr.: Brain tumors in your age group are not common. If the headache goes away with paracetamol and there are no neural symptoms like confusion, weakness, numbness, double vision, the headache is worse in the afternoon, and no nausea and vomiting, you can relax. Make an appointment with your doctor for a neurological exam and ask if you may need other tests done.Sometimes sertralene can cause headaches.

Question 4

why do i get head aches every morning? i get headaches a lot, should i be worried? im scared i have a brain tumor?

Question 5

i have muscle spasms, non painful though annoying, throughout my whole body. i am scared i have a brain tumor. could this be from anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Get labs checked: There are many causes of muscle spasms.  Most commonly, these are due to an electrolyte imbalance.  A brain tumor causing whole body spasms would be very unlikely.  The cause of the spasms might still be significant, and i would encourage you to see your family physician or internist.

Question 6

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 7

can memory loss and difficult focusing be caused by anxiety? i'm scared i have a brain tumor, since my mom died of a glioblastoma/had memory loss.

Accepted Answer

Try to chill: Yes, anxiety frequently causes what you describe. It is very, very unlikely that these symptoms relate to a brain tumor. Seeking someone to talk to about your anxiety, perhaps even a professional, would seem to be a worthwhile first step.

Question 8

headache in front/back left side of head, ear.tiny jabs of pain (1-2). light headed when standing. scared i have a brain tumor. no fam history. help!

Accepted Answer

Seek evaluation: There could be many reasons for the symptoms you are describing.  If they are persisting you need to be evaluated sooner rather than waiting.  Recognizing that you are worried about a possible brain tumor, please know that there could be many simpler explanations, but the only way to be reassured about that is to see your doctor.  They will decide about appropriate tests.

Question 9

what do you advise if i'm scared that i have a brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

First, chill: Second, visit your doctor so you can have a good physical examination and maybe an imaging study like a CT or MRI.  Hope you do well.

Question 10

scared i might have a brain tumor. how can i know for sure?

Accepted Answer

See a doc tor: Talk with an internist, neurologist, or family medicine practitioner about your symptoms and get a physical exam and further testing if indicated to know for sure if something is there.  There is no way of knowing through intuition if your symptoms are from a tumor or any of the innumerable other possibilities that could explain your symptoms.
