β οΈ Is your headache a warning sign of a brain tumor? Know the red flags.
Not every headache means a brain tumor, but some headaches do demand urgent attention.
π¨ See a neurosurgeon if your headache:
β
Wakes you up from sleep or is worst in the morning
β
Gets better only after vomiting
β
Comes with seizures
β
Comes with weakness, vision changes, or speech problems (neurological deficits)
These are classic red flag headaches that could indicate raised intracranial pressure, a hallmark sign of a brain tumor or other serious neurological condition.
Don't panic, but don't ignore it either. Early evaluation can make all the difference.
