There are many evident symptoms of brain tumors. But a lot depends on the type.

Depending on their size and location, there are many different types of brain tumors… right from Glioma and Ependymoma to Acoustic neuroma and Meningioma. Their early signs vary.

But to answer your question, there are some common symptoms of brain tumors:

· Frequent headaches that become severe and come with unexplained patterns

· Feeling nauseous, which leads to vomiting

· Difficulty in speaking, seeing and hearing

· Confusion and non-clarity in the thinking process

· Problems in maintaining balance

· Gradual loss of sensation in arms and legs

· Seizures (one of the first signs of the problem)

Now, of course, the existence of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you have brain tumors. Similarly, their absence doesn’t mean you’re completely safe.

Note that there could also be cases where you have cancer in another part of your body, which eventually spreads to the brain. Like lung, colon and breast cancer.

Once you spot even the tiniest of symptom, given the gravity of the problem, it's important that you rush to a doctor to get tested.

Your doctor, depending on your symptoms, will recommend you a number of tests. It could include MRI, neurological exam, CT scan, tissue sampling/biopsy, myelogram, more.

Reports from such tests will help your doctor answer critical questions like…

· Whether you have a brain tumor or not?

· What type is it?

· Where is it located?

· At what stage is it on?

· Does it affect other part of the body?

Depending on the severity, the doctor will recommend you the appropriate treatment. It could be radiation therapy, chemotherapy, drug therapy, surgery, radiosurgery, more.

To sum up, again, if you doubt even remotely that you have brain tumor, stretch directly to the doctor. Don't waste reading articles online on "brain tumor symptoms". They will not help you. Even if you don’t have the tumor, consulting the doctor would provide you the peace of mind.
