- Question: I would like to know what are the most likely symptoms of having a tuomor especially brain tumor.
- Answer:09/19/2001
It can be difficult to diagnose a brain tumor because the symptoms can mimic
other conditions such as headache as a migraine headache, or tension
headache.
Vomiting can be due to an intestinal upset, nervousness, ulcers, food
poisoning.
Seizures can be due to other causes such as drugs, medicines or alcohol.
Weakness of a hand or arm, or speech difficulty could be due to a stroke,
medicines etc.
The persistence of any or all of those symptoms could point to a possible
brain tumor.
