10 Symptoms of a Acoustic Neuroma
Symptom #5: Headaches
A headache refers to pain that is felt anywhere in the region of the head or neck. There are many types of headaches such as migraines, tension type headaches, and cluster headaches. It is a very common and non-specific symptom that can be seen in many situations such as hypoglycemia, hunger, dehydration, stress, inadequate sleep, and viral infections.
Headaches can usually be managed using painkillers such as paracetamol (acetaminophen) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, and naproxen sodium. In acoustic neuroma, headaches that recur are uncommon and tend to only occur in larger tumors. Headache may also be due to increased intracranial pressure.
