Glioblastoma Fear!
I am having dizziness, headache ( top and front more like dull tightness rather than migraine or throbbing headaches) which is making my eyes strainful and I feel like closing my eyes and sleep. Though I don't feel double vision or blurry vision but I do feel strain in my eyes. I have had 2 Brain MRIs. One in October 2023 and one in April 2024. They were clean and also had my blood tests CBC, LDH, CRP, ESR and IL-6 all well with in the range. I generally take naproxen but it is not effective here. Am I looking at Glioblastoma. Can it develop in matter of 8-9 months?

I understand how concerning it can be to experience dizziness, headache, and eye strain, especially given your recent imaging and blood test results. The type of headache you describe—dull tightness at the top and front of your head—can be quite common and is often associated with tension-type headaches or other non-serious conditions. It's reassuring that both of your brain MRIs from October 2023 and April 2024 were clean, as this significantly reduces the likelihood of serious conditions like glioblastoma, which typically does not develop so rapidly in a healthy individual. While I understand your concerns, it's important to remember that headaches can arise from a variety of causes, including stress, tension, or even eye strain. The fact that you are not experiencing double vision or blurry vision is also a positive sign. I recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment with a neurologist, who can provide a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms and review your previous scans. They may suggest further investigations or treatments to help manage your headaches effectively. Take care, and I wish you all the best. Best regards, Dr. K.
