Hi
After going through ur symptoms what I feel, its may not be the symptoms of brain tumor. Will you mind to read the symptoms of brain tumor and anxiety disorder. Here we go....
General signs and symptoms
Symptoms of brain tumors vary depending on the type, size, and exact location in the brain. Following are some general signs and symptoms.
Headache changes
Worsening headaches are a common symptom, affecting about 50 percent of people with brain tumors.
A tumor in the brain can put pressure on sensitive nerves and blood vessels. This may result in new headaches, or a change in your old pattern of headaches, such as the following:
You have persistent pain.
It hurts more when you first get up in the morning.
It’s accompanied by vomiting or new neurological symptoms.
It gets worse when you exercise, cough, or change position.
over-the-counter pain medicines don’t help at all.
Even if you’re getting more headaches than you used to, or they’re worse than they used to be, it doesn’t mean you have a brain tumor. People get headaches for a variety of reasons, from a skipped meal or lack of sleep to concussion or stroke.
Seizures
Brain tumors can push on nerve cells in the brain. This can interfere with electrical signals and result in a seizure.
A seizure is sometimes the first sign of a brain tumor, but it can happen at any stage. About 50 percent of people with brain tumors experience at least one seizure.
Seizures don’t always come from a brain tumor. Other causes of seizures include neurological problems, brain diseases, and drug withdrawal.
Personality changes or mood swings
Tumors in the brain can disrupt brain function, affecting your personality and behavior. They can also cause unexplained mood swings. For example:
You were easy to get along with, but now you’re more easily irritated.
You used to be a “go-getter,” but you’ve become passive.
You’re relaxed and happy one minute and, the next, you’re starting an argument for no apparent reason.
Personality changes and mood swings can also be due to mental disorders, substance abuse, and other disorders involving the brain.
Memory loss and confusion
Memory problems can be due to a tumor in the frontal or temporal lobe. A tumor in the frontal or parietal lobe can also affect reasoning and decision-making. For example, you may find that:
It’s hard to concentrate, and you’re easily distracted.
You’re often confused about simple matters.
You can’t multitask and have trouble planning anything.
You have short-term memory issues.
Fatigue and Focal Weakness
Fatigue is more than feeling a little tired once in a while. These are some signs that you’re experiencing true fatigue:
You’re completely exhausted most or all of the time.
You feel weak overall and your limbs feel heavy.
You often find yourself falling asleep in the middle of the day.
Fatigue can be due to a cancerous brain tumor. But fatigue can also be a side effect of cancer treatments. Other conditions that cause fatigue include autoimmune diseases, neurological conditions, and anemia, to name just a few.
Depression
Depression is a common symptom among people who have received a diagnosis of a brain tumor. Even caregivers and loved ones can develop depression during the treatment period.
Please Read the symptoms of anxiety:
Anxiety disorders are often severe chronic conditions, which can be present from an early age or begin suddenly after a triggering event. They are prone to flare up at times of high stress and are frequently accompanied by physiological symptoms such as headache, sweating, muscle spasms, tachycardia, palpitations, and hypertension, which in some cases lead to fatigue.
If you have fear that you may have tumor which continues in mind again and again in thought process and you are still not sure and requesting for repeated check up, then it's may be due to hypochondriasis or OCD.
