Back of my brain(occipital lobe) shakes and gets hurt when I walk. Particularly when I step on my heels. Also as I ride a bike it shakes and gets hurt on most of the road bumps. So when I walk back of the brain hurts and my right eye gets a little heavy coz of the occipital lobe's lower part shaking. Please solebody help with advice.

Also, I think in this kind of case when one gets headaches from brain shakes, the person sometimes might need some anti-depressants, right?
if you had any good experience with one, could you suggest it?
I usually drink monster energy. Of course, though, the best anti-depressant is being rich and having enough resource to fix your problems. I would guess. )

Hi!
Good to hear from you. Actually, I did check my pulse when I first read your comment about the pulse thing, and it was around 60-70 beats per minutes. Same result just now. By the way, I had a monster energy drink today, so I wonder if that affects the result. 35 beats per minute seems pretty low. Do you think you might have anemia?  Btw, are you a male/female?

Also, could you again describe your symptoms in more details just to compare. I ordered Vinpocetine and Propranolol, will see how it works. vinpocetine is supposed to improve the blood flow to the brain and oxygen supply, so it might help overall. Also, I started taking headache meds with ibuprofen and caffeine in it. Made in japan. I take one pill a day. Sometimes two. It is supposed to reduce swelling, inflammation, alleviate pain, etc and the caffeine in it helps keep you warm in winter. Also, I'd suggest eating broccoli daily. It is a question of will, coz many people don't like broccoli.

By the way, have you ever tried Keppra? If you get a chance, you may wanna give it a shot. It is supposed to increase the number of neurotransmitters in your brain, etc.

Also, you mentioned something about sinus problem, and I wonder if it has any root to this problem. Coz there are like 5 sinus cavities in our brain, maybe it's somehow related.

Although, I don't exactly remember if I had these symptoms before I fell and hit the back of my head. But a year ago, I could feel the brain in the back of my head shake when I walked, but I didn't feel pain, I wonder why. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to and took headaches as a normal thing.

Anyway, if you find out anything, please share with us. Looking forward. And lets "ganbarou"! as japanese say. :)

Hi!

So, I have been to the heart doctor. I have very low pulse; sometimes around 35 beats per minute. But the doctors are not sure if the head stuff is caused by that. (Otherwise the low pulse doesn't bother me so much). If you want to you can check your pulse and blood pressure so we can compare? Normal is considered 60 to 100 beats per minute during resting. But it is maybe not connected..

Hi!

Good to hear you are getting the necessary tests. You might wanna consider a second opinion on your ears and nose, if you feel like that might be the case. Keep us updated :)

Hi!
The ear doctor said that my ears and sinuses are fine. The problems can not come from these, he said. But my other doctor thinks it is a heart problem so now she sent me to the cardiologist. I already had an ultra sound test of my heart and soon i will have a 24 hour ECG plus many more tests. I am of coarse grateful that they do all these tests on me, but i rather think they should focus on the head instead. But who knows..

Hi, Ball123, hope you are well.
I doubt it can be caused by sinusitis. I had sinus problems my whole life, and I didn't have serious issues with it except left nostril being closed almost always. But a nasal spray helps it. Also supplements with zinc+calcium+vitamin D and broccoli. Hope this helps. Also this might be a unconventional medicine, but when I wear a magnetic necklace on my left shoulder, yes shoulder, not neck haha, it helps the sinus problem.
Or it can be just a placebo effect. I discovered that when I strained my shoulder and had to wear a magnet loop on it to alleviate the pain.
