A headache is generally harmless. However, chronic headaches, especially when accompanied by other brain tumour symptoms, could indicate a more serious medical condition.
How often a headache is experienced, the area and level of pain, as well as its associated symptoms help discern whether your chronic headache is a cause for concern.
For instance, headaches on either side of the head and across the forehead could be a result of stress. However, a sudden, severe headache, accompanied by seizures, numbness or dizziness, can turn out to be a brain tumour symptom.
Generally, a sudden, severe headache or a chronic headache that lasts for more than 3 days should warrant a visit to the doctor. You should also be mindful of accompanying symptoms such as:
Fever
Stiffness in the neck
Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
Facial drooping
Confusion
Dizziness and difficulty keeping balance
Blindness, blurring of vision or double-vision
Blurred speech
The early detection of neurological conditions is possible after the onset of initial symptoms. Early detection also means prompt treatment and more treatment options, such as minimally invasive surgery conducted by a brain tumour specialist to remove tumours. This results in other benefits such as:

The first step towards recovery is getting to the root cause of your symptoms. Various diagnostic tests will be performed, such as:
CT (Computed Tomography) scans provide three-dimensional brain images to locate the growth. Meanwhile, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) offers more detailed scans using magnetic fields to measure the exact tumour size.
If the identified abnormal growth is a type that spreads through the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), this test determines how progressive the tumour is.
This procedure determines if the growth is benign or malignant. This allows the doctor to evaluate the tumour’s aggressiveness and plan treatment.
