Head pressure when bending over or coughing, turning quickly

[dedgirl08]

I have recently had an MRI & EEG and numerous blood test because I have been having numbness to the right side of my face, it comes and goes and doesn't last very long. I have gotten the results of all the tests yet but for the the past few days I have had this feeling of pressure on top of my head on the left side when I cough, sneeze, bend over, turn my head quickly, even when I bend over to brush my teeth. It is not real painful but uncomfortable. Can you give me an idea of what could be going on. My doctor was testing my for TIA? Lupus? and other things.

Thank you, I will ask for them.

U could have requested the reports and copies of the MRI's the day of the testing.U can call the location and request it and pick it up...this way if u need a 2nd opinion...u have all ur reports and films.

I have a dx of chiari, cervical spinal stinosis, DDD, mild scoliosis and chiari malformation, and tethered cord.

If u get a dx with ne of these please seek a chiari dr.....most drs make light of the condition and r not up on the new veiws and treatments.

There is another condition that is simialar to these symptoms but also has high BP.....

When do u see ur dr for the results?

Hey, No I do not have any of my results yet. I am scheduled to see the doctor next week to go over everything but this pressure on top of my head has started just his past week.
Have you been told anything?
Yes I feel the pressure when I laugh, cough, sneeze, bend over, or try to run.

Hi...do u have a copy of ur MRI report?...Many of ur conditions r similar to mine.If u have a copy of the report post the findings....if not request a copy.

I hope u do not have the same condition as me....and there r many conditions with the same or similar to what u r experienceing...I too am checked on a regular basis for lupus.

May I ask...how do u feel when u laugh?

post an update.

Godspeed
