Symptoms of a brain tumour

The symptoms of a brain tumour vary depending on the exact part of the brain that's affected. Common symptoms include:

  • severe, persistent headaches
  • seizures (fits)
  • persistent nausea, vomiting and drowsiness
  • mental or behavioural changes, such as memory problems or changes in personality
  • progressive weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, vision problems, or speech problems

Sometimes, you may not have any symptoms to begin with or they may only develop very slowly over time.
