The Headache That Could Signal a Pituitary Tumour

Headaches? Almost everyone will experience one at some point in their life. But how can you tell the difference between a typical headache and one that may be associated with a pituitary tumour?

Headaches related to a pituitary tumour can sometimes feel different from common headaches or migraines. They may present as a dull, aching pain behind the eyes, particularly in the early morning.

During Dr Sein's interview on GOLD 905, he shared how headaches may present as a symptom of a pituitary tumour.

Whether it's a hard tackle on the football pitch, a fall during sports, or an unexpected accident, traumatic spine injuries can happen in an instant.

While some injuries cause immediate symptoms, others may not be obvious at first. Persistent neck or back pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking should not be ignored.
