The headache may be caused by a brain tumor

Many people think that headaches and fever are minor illnesses, so the early symptoms of headaches in brain tumors are often ignored. In fact, the causes of headaches are very complex and they are a sign of many dangerous diseases.

Headache is a very common symptom. Colds, high blood pressure, poor rest, emotional excitement, and vascular and neurological factors may all cause headaches. Therefore, brain tumor patients are often missed or misdiagnosed in clinical practice. Generally speaking, the early headache symptoms of brain tumors are easily misdiagnosed as cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, and endocrine diseases. Among them, 30% to 40% of elderly patients with acoustic neuromas are mistakenly treated for neurological deafness before admission; 20% of cerebellar or brainstem tumors are easily confused with cervical spondylosis.

Headache, nausea and vomiting are the three typical symptoms of brain tumors, but 50% of brain tumor patients have headache as their first symptom. If you have persistent headaches accompanied by decreased vision, memory loss and movement disorders, you should go to a tumor specialist hospital to check for brain tumors.

Early headache symptoms of brain tumors often occur at night and in the early morning, especially after getting up in the morning. The pain gradually eases or disappears after getting up and moving around. Headaches are mostly intermittent, manifested as throbbing pain and distending pain, and each attack lasts for minutes or hours. As the tumor continues to grow, the pain will worsen, accompanied by projectile vomiting, and the headache will worsen when coughing, sneezing, or defecating.

In short, whether it is the elderly or children, headaches, especially persistent or severe headaches, should never be taken lightly. The early headache symptoms of brain tumors should be taken seriously and people should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment and leading to serious adverse consequences.
