So I'm on vacation in Hawaii with my family in a gorgeous resort, with the perfect weather, and crystal blue water, what could possibly be wrong? Well, a few days ago I woke up with a splitting headache that has now lasted 2 days. I feel as though I'm either going to fall over and die from a brain aneurysm or that I have a brain tumor and will die a slow painful death. I checked out on snorkeling to stay in and research brain diseases and what I found was nothing less than terrifying!
General signs and symptoms caused by brain tumors may include:
- New onset or change in pattern of headaches
- Headaches that gradually become more frequent and more severe
- Unexplained nausea or vomiting
- Vision problems, such as blurred vision or double vision
- Gradual loss of sensation or movement in an arm or a leg
- Difficulty with balance
- Speech difficulties
- Confusion in everyday matters
- Personality or behavior changes
- Seizures
- New onset or change in pattern of headaches
- Headaches that gradually become more frequent and more severe
- Unexplained nausea or vomiting
- Vision problems, such as blurred vision or double vision
- Gradual loss of sensation or movement in an arm or a leg
- Difficulty with balance
- Speech difficulties
- Confusion in everyday matters
- Personality or behavior changes
- Seizures
- Hearing problems
Thanks to MayoClinic.com, now not only does my head hurt but I feel like I'm seeing double, I'm walking into walls, and my right leg seems to have gotten a bit numb.
