Is it possible i have a brain tumor?

My girlfriend thinks that it is possible for me to have a brain tumor, even though i have had head aches (about every other day) my whole life (19 years). Wouldn't I be dead or at least have developed other symptoms?

    i could be wrong, I'm not a doctor.

    the brain has absolutely no feeling or sense of touch/pain what so ever. a headache is not your brain.

    a headache is cause by the blood vessels and muscles around your skull.

    the only time you could say you might have a tumour in your brain is if your having eye pain, blurry vision in one or both eyes (which a optometrist would quickly diagnose as sight issues or tumour), balance issues or seizures, there may be other effects depending on where the tumour might be.

    if you have been having regular headaches, you might be suffering from Migraines. which are usually the cause of something your eating.

    I would recommend that you start cutting out certain food groups for 2 weeks to see if one of them might be the trigger, eg first cut out caffeine for 2 weeks, no coffee, no coke etc, then the next week focus on something else that you eat a lot of.

    No, a headache is the least of the symptoms. Frequent headaches are often causde by neck spasm. Do you sit for hours at the computer.? You could try a Physio or Osteopath for some gentle manipulation.

    headaches arent caused by brain pressure. its usually a vitamin or mineral defficiency. if it were a brain tumor, then youde be experiencing a change in behaviour, and epilepsy, or spasms. try eating more spinnache, its one of the most common causes of headaches, vitamin defficiency

    Every visitor should come out of "Cancer-Fear-Psychosis" by studying and discussing with others. None gets cancer overnight. Malignancy develops over years. Details follow----

    Carcinophobia/Lymphomaphobia: Fear of Cancer--Please, note that none gets cancer overnight. It takes years to develop any cancer/tumor. The main problem with the most of "You" youngsters is that you people are either dynamic or genius or intelligent or shrewd and sharp intellectuals. The TV channels & Internet are instrumental to ‘YOU’ that it is a fashion to start worrying about ‘CANCER’ for each & every symptom. It is very bad & agonizing trend which is totally wrong.

    You people start worrying with half or no knowledge. How ever, Yahoo Answers blog is an "oasis" in the desert of confusion and worry & the blog became a “safe sanctuary” for the poor, middle class & the gullible patients all over the globe. People with carcinophobia or cancerophobia live with an irrational dread of developing cancer. Every bodily discomfort becomes a sign for them that they have a malignant growth somewhere inside. A headache, for instance, is a sign for them that they have a brain tumor. A cyst/an enlarged lymph node, for instance, is a sign for them that they have lymphoma cancer. A cyst/an abscess/menses linked pustule on breast/armpit is taken as breast cancer. Mouth/gingivitis is taken as oral cancer.

    Just, wheezing, chest pain and shortness of breath is taken as lung cancer, etc. Any rash/mole on the body is taken as /melanoma/skin cancer. A boil/cyst/pustule/abscess in any part of the body is apprehended as cancer. Pain in testicle[s]/ovary[ies] is perceived as testicular/ovarian cancer. Chronic constipation is taken as colon cancer, so on...............Cognitive therapy can help someone with carcinophobia regain control of their life-WebMD.com.

    Nothing to fear for any disease be it bacterial, viral, auto-immune disorder, allergy. Hyper-sensitivity, cancer, HIV/AIDS, etc., —an offshoot of bad diet[s] & or genetic disorder[s]. IBS, irregular menses, brain & spinal cord affected disorders and also many other most dreaded diseases.

    Any cancer/dreaded disease is curable, if diagnosed early. Acupressure techniques ensure instant diagnosis of any cancer, subject to confirmation by US/MRI/CT/PET Scans and Biopsy after one year.

    No Cancer can ever hit suddenly. It takes years of suffering with unhealed wounds/injuries.
