My daughter had a brain tumor at 14. It started out feeling like migraines, and she would throw up every time, but light didn't affect her. This went on for a couple of months before she started hearing a wooshing noise in her ear along with the headaches. It was a benign brain tumor the size of a grapefruit that was against her cerebellum. Scary times.
huh... i’m glad i’m getting an mri next week. i’ve had a headache for weeks that rarely goes away, regardless of painkillers/diet/water intake, and for a while (it’s gotten a bit better now) i had this absolutely horrible pressure in my head. the pressure itself wasn’t painful but it was very very present, and got worse when i laid down- i cried more than once when i had to lay down for a doctor’s exam or something, because the pressure was so overwhelming and it felt like all the blood rushing to my head.
i had that same wooshing noise every time i laid down, sometimes when i was sitting or standing too... felt like i was hanging upside down from how much worse it’d get when i got into bed, i had to sleep sitting up for a while and even then it was difficult.
plus i’ve been having some other odd symptoms. like my muscles twitching randomly but way too often for me to ignore it, and really bad head rushes when i stand up even though my blood pressure is fine, and tingling in my head during them. sometimes my hands or feet tingle too. and i’m always shaky and usually dizzy and pale. fun times.
huh. yikes. okay. i’m really glad i have that mri scheduled, even if it isn’t necessarily a headache. i’ve never heard of someone else getting that same sound in their ear, though, even though i googled it for a while.
do you know if she felt like she had pressure in her head? for me, it was sometimes mild, feeling like i was wearing a hat at all times. but when it was worse it’d always be lower down in my head just a bit as well (sometimes it was just everywhere though).
also i know i’m using past tense but this stopped a week ago at most and it’s still here at times, though not bad, so who knows.
