Do i have brain tumor

Hello,

I am worried sick about my condition. I am not sure if i have a brain tumour.

For the past few weeks, i have been feeling sick. Most of the time, I feel weak in my limbs and don't seem to be able to control them.

Then, these few days, things seems to have escalated pretty badly, I kind of felt that my right side of the face was numbing. And i can't seem to control the movement of my right side of the mouth. Whenever i shift food over to that side, somehow it will stuck to leak out. I had mild headaches also. Moreover, these days, i keep accidentally biting myself on the tongue and on the lips.

I have had a friend who had a brain tumour and he had almost the same symptoms. I am not sure if i am in the same circumstances with him.

Can you all help me with this?

Thank you.

Something like Bell's Palsy can come along suddenly with no warning.

However, anything sudden should be investigated thoroughly. Please keep us posted.

I have not seen a doctor yet.

I am going to a polyclinic near my place to consult a doctor and see if its possible to arrange for me to go for a MRI scan.

Can i ask, typically how long does it take for the symptoms to develop. Because i kind of developed all the symptoms in a a few days time.

Have you seen a doctor? Have you been evaluated for anything including any nerve palsies?

The best thing to do is to see a doctor.
