Does Headache And Double Vision Indicate Symptoms Of Brain Cancer?

I often get headaches and difficulty in reading because I would see the paper moving, and sometimes a double post. so I've read about brain cancer on the internet and read about the symptoms of cancer of the brain. most of the symptoms was in me. this happened a few months ago, but now the symptoms are still there, but declined. so I want to ask whether I still had brain cancer.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Headache with double vision is not always due to cancer but a cancer or benign brain tumor might cause these symptoms. Since the symptoms are reducing therefore it is unlikely that you have a cancer. In people with cancer these symptoms progressively increase causing the patient to approach the doctor. However since the symptoms are still there but reduced in intensity, it will help to consult with a neurologist and get a CT scan brain done if required.

It is also required that you consult the ophthalmologist and get an opinion after clinical assessment of your vision and if there is any problem in the eyes that is causing the symptoms. Please do not worry.
