The early warning signs of a brain tumour include:
- Persistent headaches
- New-onset seizures
- Unexplained weakness or numbness
- Vision changes
- Speech difficulties
- Balance problems
- Noticeable changes in memory or personality
While these symptoms do not always indicate a brain tumour, they warrant prompt medical evaluation by a qualified neurosurgeon for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
