Brain tumor?!? i'm scared.?

Question

a few months back i had an appendectomy and a cyst removed, and i had an obstruction so they had to do a second surgery on me a few days later. anyway, i'm not sure if it started before or after the surgery but it was around that time...i've been having this thing happen where whenver i lay down and i get up, i can't see for a few seconds. i'm kind of dizzy and everything goes gray-ish. i was talking to my friend about it and he said to get it checked in case i have a tumor. i'm only 15 is that possible? and if not what else could it be? i dont want to tell anyone else or ask the doctor unless i think it's something that's truly serious.

thanks in advance.

A tumor is always possible, but unlikely. It can be many things including a reaction to the anesthesia, especially since you were under twice in a short amount of time. This shouldn't last a few months, but can be possible. Try to cleanse your body to see if this helps. Start out by eating plenty of fresh produce and as little processed foods as possible. Drink some "Green" drinks such as blue green algae. These will help cleanse your blood. Milk thistle will help cleanse your liver which is an important organ for removing toxins. You can also purchase a whole body cleanse at a health food store. The answer above involving blood pressure is also very possible and common. It could have been triggered by the anesthesia as well and may pass. A cleanse and good diet are very helpful in getting past these things. If it continues, get it checked out.

Answer 3

get checked out by the doctor

Answer 4

Have you recently read, "Death Be Not Proud?" I'm joking with you, because the character in this book actually DOES have a brain tumor, and it's in the reading group age you're in.

It's possible anyone can have a brain tumor, but it sounds like it's possible you have orthostatic hypotension. Are you getting up quickly after lying down for a while? When you lie down, your blood pressure is at one level. When you get up quickly, it goes up. When you do this fast, your body needs time to adjust to the change in position from horizontal to vertical. You may feel dizzy, woozy, nauseous, a slight problem seeing that passes, and other things. So don't get up so fast, and see how you feel.

If you still feel dizzy and things go gray, see the doctor.

Answer 5

Get checked out, but it's more likely blood pressure or heart rate, or migraines or something like that.

Good luck

Answer 6

Those symptoms correlate with postural hypotension, or low blood pressure when reclining.  Upon rising, there is insufficient blood pressure to supply your brain with the oxygen it needs to function.  

Dizziness and "grey-outs" of vision are symptomatic of hypotension.

A brain tumor would probably manifest with pain, disrupted senses of smell, taste, motor skills, seizure activity, and other more dramatic symptoms.

At any rate, you need to speak to a physician about this.  It can be caused by several disorders, but this is one of the more common.

It can be treated, but other causes have to be ruled out first, to ensure proper treatment..

Answer 7

My dear girl, you are simply suffering from an attack of the unknowns.

But there is something the matter with you and I will ask you to consider yourself rapped over the knuckles for not mentioning it to your doctor.

It is probable that you have low blood pressure. That is serious if it is not treated. Back you go to the hospital and tell them straightway, the

doctors who were treating you that is. In all probability you will be required to give a blood sample for analysis and they will deduce what medication to put you on. Naturally, they will check your blood pressure first. This may simply mean that you are asked to take a tablet each day in the morning and come back for a regular check until they know you have stabilised.

Off you go now. Tell mum. She'll take you. Remember, the responsible thing is always to get the specialist advice when you notice something going wrong with your body. That's why my wife died ten years ago. She didn't and she was a nurse to boot.
