Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache
I have weak headaches often, I think they are just tension headaches, but my aunt suffered from non cancerous tumors in the brain, and her doctor said it was a genetic thing. I m worried that I may have something similar, should I have tests done to check that I don t have giant tumors in my brain, like she did?

Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
Tumors of brain are rare, even if you have a family history the possibility is rare.
But still it is always better to get tested. I advise you to get MRI brain with contrast and revert back with report.
Also get your eyes tested and Blood pressure checked.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
