A complete medical examination is needed to diagnose if a person has brain cancer or tumor. Since the symptoms are quite common, it becomes difficult to detect if it is cancer or something else. There are several symptoms that can give you a signal having a brain tumor. The symptoms mainly depend on the position of the tumour in the brain. Some of the common brain cancer Symptoms include headache, vomiting and many others.

Tumours in the cerebrum can cause many health issues, such as body weakness, memory loss, problems with vision and speech, and so on. Tumours in the cerebellum, on the other hand, can lead to issues with coordination and unsteadiness. Severe Headache has been marked as one of the most common symptoms of a brain tumour. But, remember it is not the only symptom. In daily routine, people got attacked by headaches from time to time, that is because of stress and fatigue. But if you are facing headaches consistently, get yourself diagnosed immediately.

A number of symptoms can attack a person due to increased pressure, such as Feeling sick, Headache, Vomiting, Problems With The Body Balancing, Changes To Your Sight, Being Confused, etc. Usually, when a tumour increases the pressure in the skull, it is termed as raised intra cranial pressure. The same conditions can be caused because of the following reasons, such as:

by the swelling around the tumour, or

by the tumour itself, or

due to a blockage of the flow of cerebra-spinal fluid

Seizures are considered the another most common symptom that is usually seen in the cancer patients. They can attack a person in a harrowing way that can be a frightening experience for the persons close to patients. Seizures mainly start in the cerebrum and have different types as well. A drug named anticonvulsants is commonly recommended by the doctor to prevent seizures. Its common symptoms are twitching, unconscious, sensations and so on. A patient may also become unresponsive for a few minutes. After a seizure, a person may feel tired and a little bit confused as well.

The Brain Cancer Symptoms don't end here, rather there are many more. Many a times, there may be some changes related to the behavior and personality. Not only this, you may also face issues while thinking or reasoning. Such changes are mainly noticed by the family members or close friends. These changes can make you upset for a while. If you are facing such issues, ask your specialist to conduct a medical assessment to figure out the actual cause. There are many symptoms that completely depend on the position of the tumour. This is because the tumour restricts the working of that specific part of your brain.

Some of the symptoms include weakness, problems while writing, reading, difficulty doing simple calculations, lack of coordination, dizziness, double vision, irregular periods, uncoordinated walking, infertility and so on.

Call upon a specialist if these symptoms wake you up at late night.
