Question
hey my name is Lindsay i have some of the symptoms of a brain tumor like : headaches all the time and bad coordination i have had headaches ever since kindergarten i would get them every day it worried me so much. my parents wouldn't take me to the doctor. now im 11 and i still have headaches not as often but i still get them quite often but i stay stressed allot also and im just a natural born cluts

Answer
If you have had these symptoms for several years now (since kindergarten) they are most probably NOT due to a brain tumor since you are still around. But if you have so much problems with it you definitely SHOULD see a doctor (preferably a pediatric neurologist). Good luck!
