Brain tumour symptoms in adults
Almost 11,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour each year. Brain tumour symptoms can include headaches, changes to vision and nausea, so while brain tumours are relatively rare, it’s still important to recognise the signs.
Headaches
Headaches are one of the most common symptoms of a brain tumour.
Changes in vision
Changes to vision can include blurred or double vision, abnormal eye movements and more.
Seizures
Seizures, sometimes referred to as 'fits', are one of the common symptoms of a brain tumour.
Nausea & dizziness
Nausea, as with headaches, may be worse in the morning or if you suddenly change position.
Tiredness
Tiredness is usually a later brain tumour symptom as the tumour grows and the pressure increases.
Loss of taste and smell
Although rare, loss of taste & smell can be linked with tumours in certain parts of the brain.
