Pressure in head

When I bend over or if i am excersizing and i have to lay on my side to do leg lifts my eyes feel a little pressure and kind of seem blurry and then when i get up i might be lightheaded sometimes.. What could possibly be the cause of this it is scary because i am by myself most of the time with my son... I have recently had cronic sinusitis but i took the meds and steroids and it seems to have gone away. could it still be the cause of the pressure... A while back i was given meds from a doctor to fight a sinus infection and they gave me to much and my body reacted to it with racing heart and dizziness. Then i went to a specialist and they fixed me up but every since i started feeling my first sign of lightheadedness i just havent felt completly normal. They have done everything except an mri but every test ran has come back normal....

Hi...the symptoms r similar to those of chiari, but it can be also said the same for many other conditions.

I would suggest that u ask for copies of ur MRI and the reports....not all drs feel chiari is a significant finding....

Have someone review the MRI's by a second  dr....and look closely at all the info on the report not just the findings at the bottom.

In addition to chiari, there r related conditions like POTS and other's that are affected by increased BP and CSF pressure.

Please keep us posted on what u find out.
