6 Warning Signs of
Brain Tumors
When you have a severe headache, you
might worry something's wrong, like a brain tumor.
However, your odds of developing a
cancerous brain tumor are small, less than 1%. Symptoms of a brain tumor can
have a major impact on your daily life.
However, some brain tumors might not
produce any symptoms at all.
Some major warning signs of a brain
tumor include,
1.
Difficulty with balance or
coordination. Your ability to move can be affected by a brain tumor. Brain stem
tumors, especially, can lead to clumsy movements or balance problems.
2.
Speech difficulties. You might
develop slurred speech or speech that's hard to understand. At other times, you
might also have trouble finding the right words to say.
3.
Changes in your personality. Frontal
lobe tumors can cause happy, bubbly people to become emotionally dulled. If
you're normally quiet, these tumors can cause you to become more talkative.
4.
Changes in vision. A tumor affecting
the occipital lobe, which controls your eyesight, might affect your vision. Double
vision Blurred are also symptoms of brain tumor.
5.
Seizures. A seizure causes abnormal
movements or behaviors. Seizures can cause serious physical injuries or brain
damage. And
6.
Numbness, weakness or tingling. In
the case of a tumor, you'll feel these things in one side or part of your body
or face. Usually, a headache or confusion are your body's way of telling you to
hydrate or sleep more. However, ongoing,
severe headaches, especially in the morning, can be a brain tumor symptom. Brain
tumor headaches tend to persist for more than a few days, and may be associated
with nausea or vomiting.
If you experience one or several of
these brain tumor signs, see your doctor. However, changes in your health can
also be a symptom of something serious. If you start having unexpected or
unexplained health issues, don't wait to get checked out. Early detection of
brain tumors is key to a successful treatment plan and just might save your
life.
