A dad who put his tiredness down to long Covid was told he actually had a brain tumour - growing for 10 years. Grant Churnin-Ritchie, 42, kept visiting his GP after a bout of Covid in July 2021 left him with constant tiredness and a tingling in his right arm.
For several months, he was told it was long Covid - but Grant was convinced it was more serious. After blood tests, an ECG and an MRI scan - it was revealed he had a pituitary tumour.
This type of tumour affects the pituitary gland - a pea-sized organ in the brain which controls growth and development. Grant, a Microsoft specialist from Horsforth, Leeds said: “I kept going to my GP who said I had long Covid. This went on for several months, but I really didn’t feel well in myself and felt it was something more serious.
