Brain tumour question?

Question

do i have a brain tumour? for about 2 months or so my vision has been strange, its hard to explain but i can see millions and millions of clear dots floating in my vison 24/7, day and night. i think im also drowsy a little. also,for about 3 days my head has started hurting in a different way to what it has ever been. sharp, mild pains on anywhere on my head at any time. i also had 2 migranes in the same week about 4 months ago, but i thought that was because of stress or pulling my hair back too tight. i had another one a week ago and my hair wasnt pulled back tight, nor was i stressed. do these symptoms sound likely to be a brain tumour? i am only 14, and im off to see the doctor on the 28th of august, but do these symptoms sound like anything else i could have? im not hallucinating the dots, they are always there and they scare me, i get frightened in the night and i often wake up i make myself jump. i also had ONE memory problem, and i often hesitate when i talk to someone as my mind goes blank. please help as i am really hoping its not a tumour.

Answer 1

Well hun i think you problems would have been more severe (not saying yours arent bad cause i mean migranes? Owie) But it does sound serious. Im sure the doctor will be able to tell. Just don't leave out any details k? You will be fine :)

when you go to the doctor please insist on a CT SCAN (catscan) or better yet have them do an MRI this is the only sure way to tell if you have a tumor. im very much older than you but i had SOME of the same symptoms and yes they found a brain tumor in jan 08 and surgery for it feb 08 im doing fine now but just going to the doctor and asking a few questions and having them doing routine exams did not find it  so ask for a CT SCAN or MRI and this way you will no for sure and no more worring. good luck

Answer 3

It really sounds like migraines. There's different types of migraines. What you're experiencing does sound very very similar to them.

Answer 5

Brain tumours are extremely rare, particularly at your age.  If you have had a cluster of migraines then the dots you see maybe due to this.  Classic signs of a tumour are sudden loss of balance, blurred vision, vomiting and slurred speech.  I suffer from migrains and they make my memory go and I find it hard to concentrate - often forgetting what I am about to say!  I sometimes forget what I am going to say without a headache! LOL.  

The fact that you have been to the optician is even more reassuring.  They will look at the back of the eye by shining a light into your eye - if you had a tumour, your optic nerve would have pressure on it and they can clearly see this so, you really should relax.

Answer 8

I am almost positive you do not have a brain tumour.

However, it does sound as though you are suffering from severe eye strain.

You may need to see an optician.
