Hi there,
Im 19 years old, female.
Last year i started getting these twitches all over my body and so i went to the doctors who has set me up for numerous brain scans, but then i had moved to the USA so i couldnt get to those appointments so i just forgot about it and put up with it.
For the last couple of months ive been getting weird things happening like the last 2 months i have suddenly got bad memory i will forget something 5 minutes later, something stupid but i seriously wont remember anything and i get upset and confused and my speech has gone slower in the last year too and this last month i have been getting headaches in the same spot and these weird twinge pains in my head and then also i have been feeling light headed and dizzy and "spaced out" all day and my right side of my body gets numb and the same area i get my headaches i have been feeling pressure around that area like a heavy feeling and i have trouble thinking and also focusing.
Could this be a possible brain tumor? im worried about my problems.
Thankyou
-Sarah

Hi Sarah, I am very sorry about your health concerns. I think you should go see your doctor... not because your symptoms sound like brain cancer to me but just to get whatever is wrong checked out. You have a large mixture of symptoms... all can be explained by other, less dangerous, causes than brain cancer. But until you go see your own doctor you will not know for sure what is the cause or causes of your symptoms.

Best wishes and keep us informed.
