Signs and symptoms of brain metastases include:

• Headache, sometimes with vomiting or nausea
• Mental changes, such as increasing memory problems
• Seizures

When to see a doctor

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have persistent signs and symptoms that concern you. If you've been treated for cancer in the past, tell your doctor about your medical history.
