An oncologist pointed out one unexpected symptom before a dangerous diagnosis

Oncologist, chemotherapist, candidate of medical sciences Anton Ivanov noted that the symptoms depend on the localization of the tumor and the structure of the tissue.

Often patients note headaches, dizziness. But there are also those who initially complain of anxiety (the tumor exhausts the central nervous system, also causing asthenia and irritability). In this situation, rarely does anyone have a thought about the possible development of oncology.

The above symptoms are sometimes joined by other symptoms. Thus, with hormone-negative tumors of the pituitary gland develop mental, visual and diencephalic disorders.

In addition, other patients indicate a decreased ability to distinguish words, hypotonia. Also on the list - ataxia, tremor, hypoesthesia in the nasal cavity on the side of the lesion.

Given the symptoms that the patient complains of, the doctor can assume in which part of the CNS tumor developed, said Anton Ivanov.

There is another point that can aggravate the patient's condition. It is quite common when a person learns about the disease and then constantly thinks about it, which, in turn, negatively affects the nerves.

Earlier, therapist Tatyana Romanenko explained why you should not ignore interrupted sleep. Night rest is disturbed with infectious diseases, increased blood pressure, as well as with problems with heart rhythm. Such a problem can also be observed in the development of brain neoplasms, she noted.

The specialist specified: when the normal blood supply to the brain is disturbed, "such a function as sleep also suffers".

You should be alert if a loved one suddenly became withdrawn, worse copes with the usual tasks. In this case, it is necessary to make an appointment with a doctor. Especially if the ailment is accompanied by a noticeable disorder or slurred speech.
