does stress cause brain tumors?

No, but brain tumors cause stress.

There's a lot of studies that say it causes cancer.  Personally I think everything causes or is said to cause cancer so why worry about it.

The most frequent symptoms of brain tumors include:\n\nHeadaches that tend to be worse in the morning and ease during the day, \nSeizures (convulsions), \nNausea or vomiting, \nWeakness or loss of feeling in the arms or legs, \nStumbling or lack of coordination in walking (ataxic gait), \nAbnormal eye movements or changes in vision, \nDrowsiness, \nChanges in personality or memory, and \nChanges in speech. \n\n\nHope this helps

As the cancer grows, the pressure it places on surrounding structures within the brain increases. This will increase the severity of the symptoms. Depending on the type of cancer it is (whether it's primary or a metastasis), the growth rate will vary. Obviously, faster growing cancers will cause the symptoms your friend is suffering from to increase in severity rather rapidly. Conversely, if the tumor is a slower growing one, your friend can live a relatively functional life for a long period of time.\n\nTherefore what you can expect to see in your friend can be quite variable. Generally speaking, if untreated, her current symptoms will worsen, and new symptoms may appear such as seizures, difficulty walking, loss of vision, memory loss, and personality changes. The usual cause of death in a patient with brain cancer would be respiratory failure.\n\nWith more information, such as the type of cancer (if known), when it was diagnosed, and how the symptoms have progressed over time, I can provide you with a more specific answer.

You should see your doctor. Any medical advice obtained over the Internet is, obviously, of uncertain and unevaluated value, and without the chance to see and examine a patient no one can make an accurate diagnosis.\n\nThat said... symptoms of brain tumour can include headache (not generally pulsatile, but can be), often worse in the mornings. Nausea/vomiting (again, often worse in the mornings), double vision, visual loss, weakness of arms or legs, changes in sensation, trouble with speech, trouble with balance, seizures, confusion, memory problems...all these and more can be signs of a brain tumour, depending on where in the head it is.\n\nHowever, brain tumours are a RARE cause of headache. Migraine is much more likely. Again, see your doctor for a proper exam and work-up.

(m)\n\n\n The hippocampus is a brain area involved in learning and memory that is particularly sensitive to stress.\n\nduring stress were associated with damage to neurons in the CA3 region of the hippocampus, and a loss of neurons and dendritic branching. Glucocorticoids disrupt cellular metabolism and increase the vulnerability of hippocampal neurons to excitatory amino acids like glutamate. Other neurochemical systems interact with glucocorticoids to mediate the effects of stress on memory and the hippocampus, including serotonin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).Stress also results in deficits in new learning that are secondary to damage to the hippocampus. Exciting recent research has shown that the hippocampus has the capacity to regenerate neurons and that stress inhibits neurogenesis in the hippocampus.

Stress could cause hair loss. If you're not eating right, you could be losing hair due to malnutrition also.

Biologically speaking, stress increases cortisol (a hormone).  It has the physiological effects of raising your heart rate, making you more aware, going into "fight or flight" mode, increasing bloodflow to your organs, etc.  It basically prepares you for action of some sort.\n\nStress doesn't have to be a bad thing.  There are distresses or eustresses.  Distress arises from negative events (aka things like PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder) or positive events.  In the right amount for the right function, stress can give you a fighting edge.  For example, the adrenaline rush when you're giving an oral argument or playing a game.\n\nThe best metaphor that I could find is on the first site below.  Stress is good up to a point, but can be bad.  So, radiation may cause cancer, but if it is controlled and used appropriately, it can actually fight cancer in some situations.

Yes definitely.  Stress can cause your body to behave in abnormal ways.  It can delay getting your period, it can make the flow increase or decrease.  I know you mentioned that you are going through some stressful things but try to relax a bit.

LOLOLOL\n\nHave YOU actually tried researching this yourself?  If so, you'd know that there have never been any documented cases of someone getting a brain tumor from watching TV.

Hi There\n\nHere are some ideas to consider healing your issue. A lot of info here, but worth reading. The Incuralbles program would be the most beneficial for long term. #10 and #16\n\nBrain Tumors: The most common tumors of the brain are the meningiomas, derived from the coverings of the brain, and the gliomas. Sarcomas and cancers do occur but are almost always derived from tumors in other parts of the body, for example, the breast and the bowel. Tumors of any size and duration produce certain general symptoms indicative of an increase in the intra cranial pressure, namely, headache, vomiting and optic neuritis or swelling of the optic nerve just as it enters the eyeball. Dizziness is another common symptom, and in the late stages mental changes may occur. In tumors of the frontal lobe mental changes are sometimes the earliest indication of the disease process. Tumors of the temporal lobe often produce a dreamy state, sometimes associated with hallucinations of smell. The position of the tumor may often be determined by noting the muscular and sensory abnormalities of various parts of the body and correlating the findings with what is known regarding the localization of function in the brain." \n\nThe brain must be properly nourished and kept free of inorganic materials that can cause this tremendous organ to malfunction. \n\nCause \nThe inability to eliminate unhealthy material. \n\nHundreds of women have wondered why they have tumors and cysts in their bodies. The cause, according to Dr. Christopher, is potassium deficiency. When a patient takes plenty of potassium foods (not supplements) you can remove the cause of the cysts and tumors. Other foods, which are lower in potassium, must not be increased when you are trying to increase the potassium in the system. When patients go on the three-day cleanse and mucusless diet and take the female corrective formulas [Nu Fem], they receive nourishment which is high in potassium. Miraculous things happen to them. For even faster results, you can add to each cup of herb tea six to ten drops of elderberry tincture or six to ten drops of black walnut tincture, both of which are extremely high in potassium. \n\nCysts and tumors are like leeches, but they stay in places where there is a body deficiency. As soon as the body is balanced and well, the cysts and tumors have to go, because the material is too healthy for them to live on. \n\nThis is why so many patients brought Dr. Christopher cysts and tumors in various sizes that they had expelled from their bodies. There is not enough food, in the form of dying or deficient body materials, so they just decide to leave. \n\nThere are several ways to receive your potassium. Dr. Bernard Jensen sells a potassium broth made from dehydrated vegetables. Dr. Bronner makes a similar, excellent product. You can also make your own potassium broth by simmering equal parts of red potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, and herbs to taste. Raw vegetable and fruit juices also flood the system with potassium. \n\nWhen cysts or tumors grow in places where they can be seen outside the body, often we react by having them cut out. This defeats healing by working on the effect instead of the cause. You can cut cysts out, tumors off, and burn warts off (which are also a potassium deficiency), or get rid of as many moles as you wish, but unless you go to the cause, they will grow back again, and you may end up with as many or more cysts, tumors, moles as before. Different signs of potassium deficiency will keep popping out on the body because the condition that needs correcting is on the inside. You have to go into the cause, Dr. Christopher always insisted, which is the way we have been eating. \n\nHerbal Aids \n1.General Instructions: Rebuild tissue so the body can slough off the tumor accumulation. This is done by toning the body generally with alternatives. \n\n2.Scrofulous Tumor: See formula using plantain leaves, fumitory herb, yellow dock root, white r

Not exactly. It is more likely that depression and stress weaken your immune system, which then fails to kill cancerous cells. Cells go cancerous in your body all the time, but are killed almost instantly most of the time.
