i have checked on wrong diagnosis.com as i have been having a number of things happen to me lately…symptoms are

dizzyness when i stand up 70% of the time

a metallic taste in my mouth

balance problems when i stand up sometimes

tunnel vission when i stand up

and numbness when i stand up also

it came up with one thing….brain cancer….could i have that??

thank you


Answer:
I would firstly suggest dont use internet sites to diagnose yourself!!!! symptoms and signs overlap so so so much so all you are going to do is worry yourself with conditions that are so rare. For instance in this case, you are worried about brain cancer, but the website im assuming makes no mention of the fact primary brain cancer is very very rare!!!

what you have sounds like very uncontrolled blood pressure which is why your symptoms are much worse when you stand up. because when you suddenly stand up your blood pressure drops for a few seconds before regulatory mechanisms kick in and stop you fainting. in cases where people have chornic high blood pressure, the brain becomes used to operating a higher blood pressure and so when it drops when you stand, the brain cannot deal with this sudden decrease which is what will make you dizzy!!

best thing to do is get to your doctor for a definitive diagnosis. However judging from what you are describing, cancer is not something that is on the cards


Answer:
I would go see a doctor if I were you

Answer:
Best you let a doctor diagnose something like that. Get it checked out.

Answer:
Highly unlikely. You shouldn't use Internet sites to self diagnose. See your GP, probably something minor!

Answer:
More like blood pressure, but check with your doctor as soon as you can.

Answer:
i doubt it is cancer.. remember the title to the website..'wrong diagnosis.com'.. and it sounds like it sure it wrong.

with brain tumour/cancer.. you will tend to have really bad migraines.

but you should go to the doctor to sort yourself out before it gets any worse


Answer:
hopefully not……these are symptoms of many things…. …..could be a diabetes….go to see your GP nothing worse than 'drugstore' diagnosis……hope you are ok …..peace@love=0)

Answer:
go have a CAT scan

Answer:
it sounds more like you have very bad high blood pressure.

which is probably a thousand, or ten thousand times more likely than brain cancer.


Answer:
viral infection you will be better within a few days, a brain tumour would have made you violently sick, blurred vision, and major headaches

Answer:
hi

i cant understand why you havent been to see your gp about your problems, i wouldnt jump to any conclusions from diagnoses on the internet. my father had a tumour in his head and his symtoms were nothing like you've got.


Answer:
Have you been having a lot of stress lately? Your blood pressure could be elevated

Answer:
go doctors and get checked out but i think it might be low blood pressure, or you might have a ear infection have you had flu recently?

Answer:
It could be, but try not to think the worst.

Go to your doctors and ask for a CAT scan.

I hope everything is okay for you

Answer:
I doubt it cancer but you should just check with a doctor before whatever illness you're having gets any worse.

Good luck ;)


Answer:
Hi I didn't even Know that I had a Cancer of the Brain, I just remember signing myself out of work, Hadn't been there long.

June last year, then I had been complaining with Severe Leg Pains. Then in September I collapsed then the next thing I remember I was rushed to the shropdoc, he then admitted me for a suspected Brain Tumour, on The 25th of September I had My operation they removed 75% of the tumour, And I thank god I am still alive but they only given me 9-12 months to live, But I take everyday as it comes.

All the best Nigel
