Hi,
I read your prev post as well about the car accident!! and this one, but I have some difficulty understanding the entire issues..but its seems a major one is Drop attacks?
If that is the case, I do not see a place for a bipolar here sinc you do have an MRI showing a cervical cord compression and it does not sound
1-a vascular (though you mentioned a heart issue?..if that is the case then you should ask for MRA of the Vertebral- Basilar arteries)
2- Or an inner ear issue because you don't have the symptomes to point at that 3- its very unlikely to be hydrocephalus and intraventricular cause (the cavity in the every brain)
4- or a posterior fossa (the skull is divided into 3 parts anterior, middle, and posterior fossa) lesions
For 3 and 4 you need a head MRI
5- then there is "Cryptogenic drop attacks" which mainly affect women but its a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning all the other cause should be ruled out first .
