Symptoms of brain tumor
The symptoms of brain tumors depend
on tumor size, type, and location.
Symptoms may be caused when a tumor
presses on a nerve or damages a
certain area of the brain. They also
may be caused when the brain swells
or fluid builds up within the skull.
These are the most common symptoms
of brain tumors:
Headaches (usually worse in the
morning)
Nausea or vomiting
Changes in speech, vision, or
hearing
Problems balancing or walking
Changes in mood, personality, or
ability to concentrate
Problems with memory
Muscle jerking or twitching
(seizures or convulsions)
Numbness or tingling in the arms or
legs
These symptoms are not sure signs of
a brain tumor. Other conditions also
could cause these problems. Anyone
with these symptoms should see a
doctor as soon as possible. Only a
doctor can diagnose and treat the
problem.
