Doctor Answer
Brain Cancer Answer A4160
Headache, blurred vision and trouble
swallowing could be signs of a brain tumor
but those symptoms can also be signs of
many other disorders that are more common
than a brain tumor. Headache is the most
common symptom that can be found in many
disorders and conditions starting from
simple tiredness to a brain tumor. The
possibility of a headache being caused by
a brain tumor is very small. Blurred
vision can be due to many eye disorders so
you can check that with an
ophthalmologist. Trouble swallowing can be
due to a throat infection which is more
common than a brain tumor.
