Question: Ive been very irritable im 20 year old male. My muscles have been achy and my legs and arm feel weak. I just started today to kinda stutter and slur my words a little when talking . Could u have a brain tumor
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be brain tumor
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Generalized muscle weakness and soreness can be due to some muscle disease.
Slurring of speech is suggestion for involvement of cranial musculature.
It's unlikely to be brain tumor.
Is there any headache, vomiting, decreased hearing, seizure, loss of consciousness, facial deviation, nasal regurgitation, chewing difficulty. Is there easy fatiguability or fluctuations in weakness. Is there any drooping of eyes.
Any urinary involvement.
You need to provide details.
It's better to consult a neurologist for proper evaluation and investigation for treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
