A member asked:
Could not sleeping for 5 days, (sleep deprivation) cause brain tumor? i been getting headaches lately
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Please don't jump to: the conclusion that you have a brain tumor. However, if you have literally not slept in five days that is serious. Please seek prompt medical evaluation to determine cause.

Not really: no brain tumor with sleep deprivation. Headache may be the result of head deprivation not due to brain tumor

No: Brain tumors can form at any age, but are not associated with sleep deprivation. See your physician for an examination of your eyes and nerves to address both your worry of brain tumor and to understand your headaches. A referral to a Neurologist may be recommended at that time.
