Does this sound like a brain tumor to you.

[ShampooBottle]

I've been having headaches for the past few months. At first I felt very sick with them but as time went on they seemed to get better. However, when I stand up sometimes everything goes black and I can't see. But it lasts for less than a minute. Also I haven't had my period since January. And there is NO CHANCE that I'm pregnant.My head mainly hurts on one side and it's not really in the morning it's more during the afternoon. I'm kinda afraid that it is a brain tumor. Also, one side of my forehead isslightly bigger than the other side. It feels like a squishy bump under my forehead. { I was also wondering if you constantly rub your forehead if you can cause blood clots} Sometime's I'm dizzy but not that often. Also I've been having floaters in my eyes and sometimes when I close my eyes or in the dark and look side to side I see big circles of light in my eye.  -note- I was on this Medicine called Accutane since January. I stopped it in April. 'm not sure if this has something to do with it or not. Please help. :{

Im 19 and had the exact same thing you were experiencing except for the missed period part. I dragged my mom to the ER with my headpain and got a CT scan and everything was clear. About a week later my chest also started to hurt me so i drove myself to the ER bc my mom wouldnt take me and so i went to my best friends dad who is a cardiologist and had tests done and everything was perfectly clear to. I just have really bad anxiety they said and that can cause alot of symptoms too. But go to the ER to have them check it out for sure...beg your mom or find a way to go yourself, you'll be breathing alot easier

Your mom needs to get a grip and get determined with these doctors. Apparently the one you are going to is not helping so go to another one! These are not the symptoms of allergies! Probably not a brain tumor either but worrying about it isn't going to help anybody. Ask your mom to take you to the ER and ask for a CAT scan or MRI. They will tell you exactly what is going on.

I've been to a Dr and they keep saying it's allergies.

And my mom WILL NOT let me go back becuase we've been so much.
btw- I'm 14.

no period for 6 months, on going headaches and near black outs... and you are writing on a forum instead of at least going to urgent care or a primary dr??? Seems like a big deal.  Maybe not a brain tumor... maybe so.... but go to the dr!

[Rob2008]

actually, i retract my previous suggestion-----Go to your regular doctor and ask for an MRI with contrast.    Then you will know you don't have a tumor for sure.

I had headaches for six weeks constantly. i went back and forth to gp and hospital. eventually i had a ct scan and a meningioma was found. it was operated on and the op was successful although the headaches remain. i would advise you to see your gp or pester the hospital like i did until you get results. the worrying about this will do you no good at all.

if you are this worried, go to the ER and ask for a CT scan..then you will know

Unfortunately, I cannot tell from your description.  I would suggest seeing your doctor.

Ok thanks.

But can you tell me if it sounds lik a brain tumor or not.

[Michael Lim, MD]

While I am sure your symptoms are distressing, In general, it is difficult to diagnose a brain tumor on symptoms such as yours alone without further workup.  It may be best if you see your primary care physician to address your concerns.
