Meningioma, Benign. Have Unconsciousness. Can I Continue Exercising?
Please forgive my misspelling. About a month ago I was diagnosed with a meninginoma, I had just come
Back from a 7 mile run. The next thing I know I'm wakeing up in the emergency room . They had no idea
What had caused me to pass out until they saw the meninginoma. It is benign. I've seen a neurologist an
I have an appoitment with a surgeon shortly. I was working out, doing some running and it happened
Again. The last time it happened they were not sure if it was a seizure or not, this time they know that it was
Very definite a seizure and I'm on a seizure medication for the moment. My question to you is, can I still run.
It's a very important thing to me and I would like to continue my current routein.
Thank you for your time. Denise adams

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your diagnosis is seizures, secondary to meningioma, a benign brain tumor.
The short term treatment would be anti-seizure medications, and you could still run.
However, surgery is the definitive treatment in the long run, and it may make you completely seizure-free. In surgery, the meningioma would be removed.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
