Dp I have a Brain tumor?

[moe53]

I am an athletic 15 year old male.I have been getting memory lapses about once a day, where i forget something for like 5-10 seconds then remember it. I have noticed that i am always worried about this and i am always testing myself and trying to remember the littles details ( which i cant) this scares me even more. I am wondering if i have a brain tumor, or is this just stress, thanks.

Frequent symptom of a brain tumor is morning headaches that improve during the day, vomiting, double vision, and an entire group of other symptoms.  While I'm just a respiratory therapist and parent.  I have personally been thorough the scary prospect of a brain tumor with one of my children.  

However, talking with your Dr. about your symptoms is best.  Absence seizure can cause "space out"...feeling.  Generally more than once a day.

Stress can cause all sorts of physio symptoms in your body, headaches, diarrhea, etc.  stress is a powerful thing!  talk with your parents, teacher, and most of all a doctor.
