It depends on the location of the tumor. Most commonly, a brain tumor will increase the pressure within the skull as it grows, forcing the medulla (the lowest part of the brain) downward into the spinal canal. Compression of the medulla can seriously affect blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate.
