Al-Marsad newspaper – Agencies: Experts at the Cancer Research Center in the United Kingdom indicated that there is a symptom that can already be heard, and this may be due to a tumor in the temporal lobe, which experts said may cause hearing voices in the head.
They also explained that depending on the location of the tumor, the patient may have difficulty processing and storing memories.
They added that the patient may also suffer from short-term memory loss and difficulty in hearing and speaking.
Experts explain that if there is a brain tumor, it will likely press on the skull, due to the fact that there is only limited space for the organ to take up.
If the tumor is growing, this will increase the pressure inside the skull. This is commonly referred to as raised intracranial pressure and may cause the following six problems:
1. Headache
Medics at the charity said this is one of the most common symptoms of a brain tumour, but added that if a person is experiencing a headache, it is unlikely that the cause is cancer.
They added that if you have a headache accompanied by feeling sick or actually sick, or if you suffer from eye problems such as flashing lights or blind spots – you should see a doctor.
And if you’ve never had a headache before, and the condition has steadily worsened over weeks and months, you should also see your doctor.
2. Epileptic seizures
Figures from the charity Cancer Research UK show that epileptic seizures occur in eight in ten people with a brain tumour.
3. Feeling sick or actually sick
Illness that occurs when you move suddenly is another sign to look out for. However, this symptom is unlikely to appear alone, as it is usually associated with headache, weakness, and eye problems.
4. Drowsiness or loss of consciousness
Experts explain that experiencing drowsiness or loss of consciousness is caused by elevated intracranial pressure, which can reduce blood flow to the brain.
4. Drowsiness or loss of consciousness
Experts explain that experiencing drowsiness or loss of consciousness is caused by elevated intracranial pressure, which can reduce blood flow to the brain.
They added that this may be frightening for the patient and those around him.
5. Eye problems
If you have a brain tumor, you may find that your vision worsens or that glasses do not help control the condition.
6. Changes in personality
According to experts, changes in personality can be a symptom of a brain tumor, and this is shown by the patient or those around him noticing that he has become confused or may be struggling to think normally.
