Early symptoms of brain tumor that people don't immediately notice

5 symptoms of a brain tumor

Romina Dibra, MD, has identified five signs of a brain tumor. She also told us when a headache can indicate something serious.

Headache

The expert warned that if your headache is accompanied by other symptoms, you can assume that it is not just a normal pain. Such symptoms include nausea, nighttime awakenings due to pain, visual disturbances, and headaches that gradually increase over several weeks.

Convulsions

This alarming symptom should be a reason for an immediate visit to the doctor. While it can indicate a variety of health problems, the expert noted that up to 80% of people with brain tumors experience seizures or convulsions. They can range from subtle arm twitching or jerking to affecting the entire body.

Sleepiness

The increased pressure in the skull caused by the tumor can disrupt the blood supply to the brain, potentially leading to drowsiness or even loss of consciousness.

Persistent nausea or vomiting

Romina emphasized that this symptom is very popular. People with brain tumors often experience it.

Vision problems

Brain tumors can cause a variety of vision problems, including loss of peripheral vision, seeing floating shapes, or completely blurred vision.

Symptoms of brain tumors can vary greatly from person to person, largely depending on the location of the tumor.
