This might not be the right place for this but i dont know if i have a brain tumor or not. My symptoms are my head feeling constantly tired, a little heavy, and dizziness. I'm only 15 and i was wondering if Brain Tumors are common in someone that age or what, but do you guys and girls think these are enough symptoms to see a doctor?

Have you talked with your parents about this? I do not know if these are brain cancer symptoms. Only a doctor can diagnose you. They are symptoms of something. How long have you had them?

I've had them for a month and a half now. I've had some other problems with drug issues and such i talked to everyone about. Might have a long-term visual disease. He noticed my blood pressure was so he nput me on toprol. seemed to help with the visuals but this feeling in my heads is still there. It could just be my sinus problems i dont know. Just want to know if there symptoms of a tumor or not.

Thx.

Hi there, welcome to the forum. Can I say that you should go see a doctor about blood pressure abnormalities. It may be nothing much or it may be a symptom of something. Please go & get checked out. Do it for yourself you are a young person. Cheers Aussie Angie.
