Does anyone know how fast it takes for a tumor in your head to grow? I had a MRI 6 months ago and there was nothing found. Before that I had a CT scan done 2 yrs ago negative; however I am still experiencing the same symptoms I have been.
Pressure behind eye
dizziness
lightheadness
headaches
muscle twitching

I am having the exact same issues you are having: headaches, dizziness, etc. My doctor told me it was stress related, my mom thinks I need a new prescription for my glasses. I go back to see my doctor in Dec. I am going to ask for some testing to be done. I have also considered it could be my sinuses. I've had sinus problems for about 7 years now, so I've considered that as a possibility, not to mention I've been getting fluid behind my ears for 2 years now, which also makes me wonder. I have a CT scan done in May to check for a brain bleed, but it came back negative, which is very good news of course. But I too would like to know what's going on.

My mom recently died of brain cancer. Tumors on the brain can grow quicky. The symptoms you are describing, do not sound like brain tumors. It sounds more like sinus issues. Also, I have had muscle twitches, now I have had all kinds of testing done because of my family history of cancer ~ it turned out that my twitches are a sign that my blood pressure is up! (My eye will usually start twitching!) I think you have nothing to worry about! Try asking your doctor to give you meds for sinus infections! Maybe that will help! Good Luck!

I would say you are probably ok. I am no doctor, but I would think the tumor would have to be pretty big to cause all of those symptoms and I would assume a fairly new tumor would not be big.

My sister in law has struggled with migraines for years and she has all of
those symptoms and has been checked several times for tumors.


good luck
