Hi I have a headache on one side of my forehead and dizziness. Could this be a brain tumour? I'm so worried, I am very tired tho.
Please reply
Love louise
Sounds more like a migraine to me.
Headaches caused by tumours are called organic headaches and are not a common symptom of a brain tumour. Even though it makes sense that they would be they just aint.
I get migraines all the time. Their a pain but you should be able to sleep it off or try migraleve. They work wonders.

Hi Louise,
It could be a tension headache, a cluster headache or stress. Lots of things cause headaches (especially tiredness) & if you're feeling anxious about it that probably isn't helping.
Long soak in the bath & an early night should do the trick.
Try not to worry - I once had headaches for a month solid.

Hi Louise - I get one sided headaches too, it's scary sometimes. Like you, my first thought is tumour, followed by aneurism! I asked my doctor about a similar thing, I get a really sharp pain sort of on the "corner" of my forehead when I bend, strain, pull sometimes, and of course I thought it was a vein about to burst. She said muscle spasm. Why we panic so much, I don't know - but I still do it! Get lots of sleep and try to relax. Headaches are not symptoms of tumours! I've been told!
love, Rosekay
ps I've had awful swirling feelings in the back of my head too, terrrifying because it feels so dramatic. I thinks it's due to positioning or something like that.
best thing you can do is go to the doctor and get it checked. but try not to worry about as it just makes things worse.
