vertigo, high blood pressure, low pulse = ?

Hello!

I am a little worried and hope to find some clue to my condition while I wait for my MRI results next week.

I am male and 25 years of age.

Last year I had a benign brain tumor which was removed via nasal surgery.

In the last 2/3 weeks I have been having very random and very faint vertigo episodes. I feel as though I am sitting in a boat and it is rocking from left to right very gently.

A visit to the ENT revealed nothing out of the ordinary.

However, my eye doctor noticed that I have unusual pressure on my eyes. I have to go back to him next week.

Further more, I recently found out that I have high blood pressure and a low heart pulse.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

There are some reflexes which can cause hypertension and low pulse if you have increased intracranial or intra ocular pressure. I would make sure that if you have increased intraocular pressure, why this is and that this gets relieved very soon, because if not then you can have loss of vision. Another cause of the vertigo following surgery such as the one you had is loss of the central hormones which control volume homeostasis. I would see your endocrinologist to make sure you don't have a rare complication from this type of surgery.
