Could Skull Dents and Symptoms Indicate Serious Health Issue?
Patient's Query
18F, 44 Kg (97 lbs.), 4'11, Asian, South Asia In March, I blacked out while brushing my teeth. I rushed to the hospital, and the doctor said it could have been a seizure. Since then, I’ve been dealing with the following symptoms: Blacked out while brushing my teeth in March Ongoing headaches (cervicogenic- earlier, now only head aches) Facial numbness that started around the same time Doctor suspected the headaches were due to acid reflux (medicated for it) Had an MRI for seizure protocol (clear results) Skull dents appeared out of nowhere and are getting worse over time Blood pressure fluctuations, sometimes dropping unexpectedly Headaches continue intermittently I don’t drink milk but have been taking Vitamin D supplements due to possible deficiency (recommended by doc) I’m wondering if this could be related to calcium or Vitamin D deficiency, or if it might point to something else. I'm really concerned about the skull dents, and I’m not sure if these symptoms could indicate something serious
Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Thank you for laying your worries out; it is normal for you to be worried about the symptoms you are experiencing. The injuries in your skull and the ongoing headaches could be caused by several different things, including structural changes or lack of proper nutrition. Vitamin D may be needed, but checking calcium levels is also a crucial part of the prevention. It's great that your MRI was clear, but if you are still feeling the symptoms, you should get a neurologist's opinion. The doctor I recommend should examine your condition more comprehensively and then advise you.
