Hi, im around 19 years old and was diagnosed with a brain tumor not even a yr ago. And they dont know whether it is cancerous or not. But I have major headaches everyday.  But Ive had about 2 MRIs and the tumor has grown. But recently everytim I stand up I get very dizzy and everything will go black for about 20-30 seconds and my head will ache really bad! Should I be concerned at all? Is it normal for this to happen? And everyone tells me im getting up too fast but sometimes it will do it when im just walking and most of the time I dont get up fast at all!
Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor Persistent headache are likely due to the increase pressure inside your cranium due to the growing tumor. Symptoms associated to growing intracranial mass generally worsens as the mass increases in size causing compression of brain structures. You need to meet a neurosurgeon for better evaluation and investigation. For definitive treatment of the mass related headache, surgery will be needed, and it will be best at an early stage. Hope this helps you. Best regards
