Symptoms of a benign brain tumour
A benign brain tumour is a mass of cells that grows relatively slowly in the brain.
Benign means it in not cancerous.
Non-cancerous brain tumours tend to stay in one place and do not spread.
Some slow-growing tumours may not cause any symptoms at first.
When symptoms occur, it's because the tumour is putting pressure on the brain and preventing a specific area of the brain from working properly.
As the tumour grows and increases pressure in the skull, you might experience:
New, persistent headaches
that are sometimes worse in the morning or when bending over or coughing
Feeling sick all the time
Drowsiness
Vision problems
, such as blurred or double vision, loss of part of your visual field and temporary vision loss
Epileptic seizures
that may affect the whole body, or you may just have a twitch in one area
See a GP if you develop any of these symptoms.
They'll examine you and ask about your symptoms.
If they suspect you may have a tumour or are not sure what's causing your symptoms, they may refer you to a brain and nerve specialist for further investigation.

'Some people like silence to focus — sometimes you do need that — but it's about balancing stress with performance.
'Stress can actually improve your performance to a certain extent, until it becomes excessive and then it paralyses you and it gives you the shakes.
'So you've got to have mechanisms to control that and one of them is to put some music on.'
