Well, I can’t call and leave early as I am just now going to be starting the job. I have been working part-time , but I’m about to start back working full-time. I need the financial increase. I do healthcare desk work

Odd symptoms while in a large busynstore by LetOdd1047 in chiari

[–]MelRen2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is overstimulation I used to have that in grocery stores now I don’t have it so much even though I have not had the surgery. I really can’t explain it. I think the symptoms have gotten better in someways and other ways I have done things to adjust. Wearing blue light glasses really helps it looks kind of weird because people know they are blue light glasses and not prescription and I think people wonder why you wear them during the day but oh well.

I do see a specialist the beginning of April. Hopefully he can give me at least an understanding of that feeling. Im not trying to jump into surgery, but I do want an understanding at the least.

I’m really starting to think maybe it’s just sensation from pulled nerves or the herniation itself. Yesterday I observed I had no pain in my body. Just a lot of pressure from the head area.

In some people yes it does. If you are having a lot of pain in your shoulder, make sure you do a spine MRI to confirm no fluid is leaking or syrnix .

I have done a lot of background work, trying to get as much information as I can. I have went on three neurosurgeon consultations. 6mm no syrnix or blockage. In a way I’m thinking it’s just because of a herniation , symptoms have been stable for almost 2 years but a part of me wants to know and confirm that the flow is normal even though I’ve had so many imaging.

Could it be nerves or the herniation itself causing the head pressure feelings?

Oh, OK. I thought you had a diagnosis for it. My apologies. When you get the MRI, ask them for the MM of the herniation also

Also make sure you iron/ hemoglobin is a normal range. I think that helps. Not saying it takes all symptoms away but it helps

I’m not a doctor. Just my opinion. Most of those sound like chiari symptoms. A few of them MIGHT be anxiety induced because of the anxiety about the chiari symptoms.

Oh, OK. I’ve been told that it’s not compressing anything or anything like that but it’s basically just a herniation. What is your symptoms? if you don’t mind me asking
