brain tumour headache type - #21407

Aadhya

I am really confused and honestly kinda scared. My mom has been having these weird headaches, like she says they feel completely different from her usual migraines. She’s had migraines for years, but now she says it’s like a brain tumour headache type. She’s never mentioned that before, so obviously I freaked out when I heard that! The pain is a lot worse and it comes and goes at random times. Sometimes it’s sharp, sometimes it’s just this dull ache that won’t quit. She also mentioned feeling dizzy and having some trouble focusing. I took her to a doc, and they did a CT scan, but nothing showed up, which made me feel a bit better but also raised more questions. I can't stop thinking, could it still be a brain tumour headache type even if the scan was clear? I mean, I read a bit online and saw that brain tumor headache types can differ significantly from migraines, but how do you even tell? Or what should we be looking for?! I just want to make sure she’s okay and not dismissing something serious, ya know? Any thoughts on like, what this brain tumour headache type could actually be or what we should do next?
