Suggest Treatment For Cyst In Brain,vomiting And Headache

I have been diagnosed with a cyst on my brain, the dr. said he didn t think it was cancerous. For six years now i have had headaches, I wear bifocals now, my hearing is not that great, i stay tired, i have memory and thinking problems, i sometimes have speech problems along with left side drawing in my face and arm. At times my sexual desires are very high for me, my emotions are all over sometimes with alot of pressure in my head. I have been getting sharp pains with instant vomiting. i fall to sleep easy. I didn t ask any questions because all i was interested in was none cancerous. should a cyst be giving me all these symptoms?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

A cyst in the brain, present for more than 6 years is a stable lesion. However, it is important to know the location of the cystic lesion to know the exact implications and to confirm if your symptoms are due the cyst or there is any other condition that is responsible for vomiting. As you report emotional changes and sexual desires being part of your complaints, it is important to know if there is any anxiety related stress or a similar condition largely causing the symptoms. Please detail us about the location and size of the cyst in your bain and any recent enlargement is size. Cysts in the posterior fossa and causing pressure effects on the brain stem including pons and medulla can lead to vomiting.
