Can I manage Chiari malformation syndrome at 60?

I am a 60 years old woman and I have Chiari malformation syndrom since 20 years

1 Answer

Answered on 2nd Aug '24

Chiari malformation syndrome occurs when the lower region of the brain known as the cerebellum gets compressed through the skull hole that permits the spinal cord to pass. It can lead to symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, dizziness, or walking problems. Treatment can be routine medications for the symptoms and sometimes surgery to relieve the pressure on the brain. Discuss your symptoms with your neurologist.

I am feeling dizzyness and heavyness on right side of temple in forehead and pressure in forehead, ear, cheek, and nose block on right side of the face. Please suggest me diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 41

As per the complaints, this is a case of Sinusitis.

If you have sinusitis, the doctor may be able to recommend additional medications to relieve your symptoms, such as steroid nasal sprays or drops to reduce sinus swelling.

antihistamines - if your symptoms are caused by an allergy

Antibiotics - if you have a bacterial infection and are severely sick or at risk of consequences, antibiotics may be prescribed (but antibiotics are often not needed, as sinusitis is usually caused by a virus)

Tingling feet and hand, back pain

Male | 30

The tingling sensation on toes and hands and spine pain could be symptoms of nerve damage or pressure. It is best to see a neurologist who may perform tests to determine the cause and provide suitable treatment. Ignoring these symptoms only means that there will be more complications.

Last year, I got sick pretty bad. It started with migraine like headaches then intense body pain and severe back and neck pain. It was followed by fatigue, muscle stiffness and dizziness. No amount of painkillers relieved the pain. I couldn't even walk properly, someone had to hold me to get through hospitals. I got several tests done including MRI, EEG, B12, vitamin tests, eye tests, CBC and X ray for my back. There were a few vitamin deficiencies but they shouldn't have caused that much pain according to the doctors, MRI was pretty much normal. There were few abnormalities with my XRay in spine but again they were mild and not severe enough to cause me such intense pain. I took medication or migraine, some medication to make my nerves strong and I think some anxiety meds because they suspected GAD (all were prescribed by doctors). Most physicians suggested I go to a psychologist and the psychologist referred me back to physicians and I went back and forth. I got better after bed rest but I had to go back to college because I was missing on my studies. But I fell sick again, cramps like pain, consistent fever but on and off. I got tested for typhoid and other things but absolutely nothing. Then I went to a neuropsychiatrist who told me I had fibromyalgia, it aligned pretty well since I always had memory gaps as well and I've been concerned about it for a while. The medication he gave me worked, I for the first time in months started feeling better but as time passed by, it stopped working for me. I couldn't continue the medication due to expenses as well. So, I've been in pain ever since. When I've had a tiring day the pain is bad, when I am stressed it's worse. Every morning I wake up with pain and every night I go to bed in pain cuz it's worse in the mornings and night. If I rest too much, that's painful and if I don't that's painful too. Fever also shoots up every now and then. My body is in pain and exhausted, everything is difficult, walking up or down the stairs. Although some days it's better but other days it's difficult to even move, painkillers do absolutely nothing. I don't know what to do anymore

It could be fibromyalgia. This condition causes widespread pain in your body along with tenderness too – plus other things like being tired often or having trouble sleeping well. However, there are ways to handle this. For example, physical therapy might help ease some of the hurt; moderate activities such as walking or swimming could be beneficial because they won’t make the ache worse but can still keep muscles from getting too stiff; also relaxation methods (e.g., mindfulness meditation/deep breathing) may relieve stress which often worsens any existing discomfort. Besides that, proper rest is crucial, so try getting enough sleep each night; nutrition matters, so eat healthily; don’t push yourself too hard.

I am paraplegic due to spine Tumour is it can be recovered may I walk again?

Female | 28

Spine tumour leading to paraplegia is a disease that requires specialist care. It is best to work with a neurologist or spine specialist who will evaluate your situation and advise you of any possible treatment alternatives. Recovery, that is to walk again is dependent upon the tumour type and extent of spinal cord damage.

I’m 18 year old female, 5.5 and 1/2 160 pounds, for the past 3 months I’ve been having dizzy spells, blurry vision and sometimes loss of vision, my whole body heats up, sometimes I puke, it happens a lot when I get out of the shower and I don’t take hot showers. I take Vyvanse,

Female | 18

This sounds like the symptoms of a condition called postural orthostatic syndrome (POTS). POTS can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint when you stand up. It can also cause your vision to blur when standing up, heat intolerance, and nausea upon standing up. Vyvanse could worsen these symptoms. Drinking lots of fluids and adding more salt to your diet might help. Talk to your doctor about this.

This could be related to various underlying issues. Feeling a lack of hunger, fear, itching legs, vomiting, and a persistent feeling of unhappiness can be signs of physical or mental health concerns.
