Date: 1 November 2023 Dr. Pracha Kanyaprasit Owner of the page Doctor Pracha, Brain Surgery Brain surgery doctor A neurosurgeon who is an expert in the nervous system posted a clip: “What kind of headache is it? I suspect it’s a brain tumor.”

Dr. Pracha stated that the headache may be suspected to be a brain tumor. A case of headache was raised in a 70-year-old male foreigner who came to the hospital with a 2-week headache and very swollen brain. A brain X-ray found a tumor.

Dr. Pracha also explains headaches, which can be dangerous. Look out for the following 6 symptoms:

1. The intensity of the headache has increased. For example, 2 months ago, the headache was a level 5 out of 10. Now it is a level 9 out of 10.

2. I like having a headache in the early morning. Or wake up with pain when you’re quite alert. Or wake up with a headache late at night. Often caused by high brain pressure. Because it’s normal to sleep. People will breathe more slowly. Carbon dioxide slightly higher It will cause the blood vessels in the brain to expand. This causes headaches in the middle of the night or early in the morning.

3. Taking medicine – resting and not getting better or symptoms worsen

4. Headache that doesn’t move from side to side Pain on one side then spread to the entire head.

5. Headache is accompanied by numbness in the corners of the mouth, drooping corners of the mouth, distorted mouth, confusion, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing.

6. The worst headache of my life. Like never before

People with headaches who meet 1 of the criteria should see a doctor because they may have a tumor. If anyone has a headache But if you don’t meet the 6 criteria, don’t worry, such as a sharp pain or a headache on one side. Pain that moves side to side, left-right, or headaches during menstruation These symptoms When I take the medicine, I sleep and rest and it goes away. Including exercise to prevent recurrence.

If anyone has symptoms of headaches, they should get their health checked regularly. If you are unsure, go see a doctor for peace of mind.
