A warning sign of 3 cancers

According to Mirror , there are three types of cancer that cause seizures. British doctor Monika Wassermann explains: "Seizures mainly arise from epilepsy, but a brain tumour can also stimulate the brain's nerve cells and cause tingling, twitching or muscle spasms. If a tumour develops in the occipital lobe, temporal lobe or brainstem, the patient often has reduced vision, seeing one as two. Another sign of this type of tumour is eye twitching."

Symptoms occur when the tumor begins to press on the brain, blocking its normal functioning. When the tumor spreads to the temporal, frontal, and parietal lobes, it can cause speech problems, which are related to cognitive function. “The frontal lobe is responsible for decision-making, problem-solving, concentration, and speed of thinking,” Dr. Wassermann added.

Blood cancers, such as myeloma and leukemia , can spread to the spine. This usually happens when the malignancy originates in the white blood cells or plasma cells within the bone marrow.

When cancer metastasizes to the spine, the patient is at risk of losing consciousness or developing dystonia, which leads to infrequent muscle spasms or spasms, and a complete loss of control over bodily functions.

In addition, a tumor sometimes presses on blood vessels or comes into contact with bone, causing the bone to stretch. If the spinal cord is affected, problems may arise in the muscles, such as spasms of muscle tissue in the legs. Some cancers that have spread to the spinal cord include prostate cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer.

The NHS says that seizures are quite common, are rarely a sign of anything serious and usually go away on their own. But you should see your doctor if a seizure lasts longer than 2 weeks.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, eyelid twitching can also signal something serious. “Eye twitching is usually a minor annoyance that goes away as quickly as it appears. Often, it’s just a sign that you need to take some time to decompress. In very rare cases, eyelid twitching can signal something serious,” explains the Cleveland Clinic.
