Hello,
I went to ER due to frequent headaches and
severe dizziness that had be going on
about a couple of weeks. While at ER I
received a brain CT. As I waited for the
results I was given antivert, that didn't
help dizziness. The doctor received my
results and came to talk to me. He stated
that the lower part of my brain was
sitting lower than usual. He stated that
this abnormality was the reason for my
dizziness and headaches. I took that info
to my PCP and nothing was done about it.
Since then my dizziness has become worse
and I have "spells" when I feel as though
I'm being shaken very hard. It occurs
sometimes when I turn my head too fast or
even when I'm walking, talking or moving
period. It makes my tongue feel very
tingly everytime it happens. It's
happening so much that I'm starting to get
scared. My symptoms are not relieved by
meclizine, ativan or benadryl. I just
don't know what to do anymore. I'm really
afraid that something is really wrong.
I've been diagnosed & treated for a
motor tick associated with Tourette's as
well as panic attack syndrome. I really
need some kind of advice or a point in the
right direction.
Thanx, Chocolat

I know this is old but hope you get this
reply. Go see a neurologist. Your PCP is
overlooking this and it is not good. It
sounds like you may have Chiari's
malformation. This is when the tonsils of
the cerebellum descend through the foraman
magnum. This will cause many neurological
deficits and symptoms. There is a surgical
procedure that can be done that will take
care of this. I hope you see a neurologist
about this soon. You can also go to a
neurosurgeon and have a consultation. I
hope this helps.
