Question: Could i have a brain tumor? or do you know what could be wrong with me?
right now it feels like someone has a band of clamp around my head and tightens it. sometimes it makes my throat go all weird like its numb almost and it hurts worse when i lay down a certain way and bend over. i get tired easier and have nausea. the other night i had almost flu like symptoms where i felt very sweaty and hot and nauseous and then started shaking uncontrollably. sometimes i get these weird light things, which my mom said were auras of my migraine and then a ringing in my ear, right now it also feels like my head is swollen and heavy. the headache i have at the moment started last night and i still have it hours later.
my mom is trying to contact my doctor but shes with my dad at the hospital. im not trying to say i have a brain tumor, i would just like to know if any of you think they know , or know of a [possibility of whats going on with me.
Answers:
You do not have brain tumor symptoms. It looks like you have two different headache types that are each aggravating each other. The tight band you are describing looks like it probably a tension headache. They can often trigger migraines or be triggered by a migraine.
Tension headaches usually start with muscle spasms or tightness in the upper back, shoulders, and sometimes in the neck. Sometimes a visit to a chiropractor or a massage therapist can help immensely. To prevent them from occurring, it sometimes helps to do stretching exercises, maintain good posture, and increase upper body strength. Docs can set up a few visits with a physical therapist to show you the exercises.

sounds like some kind of infection, maybe an ear infection or problems with your sinus... usually they wont last for years though!
you should tell your doctor you would like a brain scan... pretend you had a fit or something or blacked out, they will do one then and at least you will know!
You have a migraine, that's it. It is very rare for a 14 year old to have a brain tumor.
I can't tell you what you have but my daughter fought migraines for years until I found out all about the 'water cure' by Dr. B. His name is too hard to say and spell. He just died last year but he did a lot of research on the water cure and why water is the cure for your body. He was a prisoner in the Iranian prisons and to stay alive he offered to be the doctor for the prisoners but all they would let him treat them with is water so he started his water study cure and finally he convinced them to let him have salt and the combination of the water and salt did miraculous things to all kinds of symptoms the prisoners had so much so that the guards were getting treated too. He's published mega books on his studies now and came to the USA after he got out of prison to finish his studies. His wife is currently keeping them up and finishing his studies into the rest of his books. Your body is 98% water and you need to keep that 98% intact in your system. Soda is the worst thing for you of any kind because, especially if it has caffene in it, it will rob your system of the water. Also, your body processes pure water differently than any other food so when I say driink water I mean 100% with nothing in it water... and filtered from chlorene as well if at all possible. If you put tea or lemon in your water your body will NOT process it as water but as a food and it will not count for the amount the body needs. If your brain which needs more water than any other organ doesn't get enough water it will steal it from the other organs to keep itself alive. When we put the proper balance of water in our system it filters all impurities out of it properly and makes the kidneys and liver function properly. According to Dr. B anyone over the age of bottle feeding needs half their weight in ounces of water a day. If you weigh 100 pounds then you should be drinking 50 ounces of water a day. If you do this you should get rid of all headaches. He talks about this in his books on water cures. I've included some sites below for you. Show them to your mom.

Hey... just don't worry.... Looks like you have atypical migraine episode. For more details please log on to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migraine. The symptoms are far away from those of a brain tumor. Just take a paracetamol/ acetaminophen tablet if you have no parental support right now. Lie down, take rest and avoid exposure to sounds and bright light till the episode subsides. Do consult a physician locally though. Take care.
