Hi all,

Recently I went the doctors because I been getting bad headaches, feeling really sick which would come and go. Just sometimes would feel weak. Anyway doctor took bp and checked my breathing. I been thinking for ages that maybe I could have diabetes. Eating sweet stuff been making me feel sick.
Anyway today I had this headache and started thinking I wonder if its a brain tumor. I had been punch in my right eye leaving quite a nasty scare and one eye and this eye looks smaller on the right side.
So I am worried I got a brain tumor my right hurts me and the right side of my head even. Its funny I use to say to Oh this hurts and he use to say all that side of yours hurts. Which now I started to realise most of my right side hurts. My right arm is hurting so much and my head and eye.
Could it be a brain tumor? I

Hi mummy26. I am so sorry about your health concerns. While your symptoms might be caused by a brain tumor, that would not be my first thought. Pain is not usually associated with Brain Cancers. Headaches are sometimes associated with brain cancer, but not always. Since you were injured on your right side, your pain might be explained by that. However, that also would not make sense to me since if there is something wrong in the right side of the brain, the symptoms will show on the left side. My damage is on the left and I have some right-sided weakness. It still is worrisome whatever the cause. I suggest that you talk this over with your own doctor.

Good luck and let us know what you find out.
