fluid filling my head

[juliewestom]

Hi.... i had surgery 3 years ago... been doing ok....  lately several times a day for just a minute or so...  i feel that my head is going under water... has anyone experienced this and can you give any advice

[selmaS]

  Did u go back tot he same NS that did ur surgery? Just curious....anad did u get copies of the MRI and the report?

had mri of brain on june 11  and mri of the cervical spine june 19  these both were done with contrast... the brain mri showed nothing so far  still waiting for the results on the cervical spine

  Does this feeling of pressure happen while u r doing something, standing from a sitting position?....Sometimes a change in position can cause this, and
it can be a short lived issue, or an indication of something else going on,

  I too am 3 yrs post op and do not have this issue, and I would suggest u go and get a MRI if this persists or gets worse by lasting longer.

the pressure feels like it is coming from the back of my neck and fluid or pressure goes to the top of my head and then it goes away almost immediately..  i don't know how else to explain it
thank you

  Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

Do u mean u have pressure? I want to understand what it is u r feeling, and it is possible to have a related issue going on, or a sinus issue....

When was ur last MRI?....did u have a syrinx, or other chiari related condition?
