Question about chiari

[alaa_afaneh]

Hey every hope your having a wonderful day :D
To make this short, my question is,
Do people with chiari feel pain in their head, with certain head movements, I mean moving your head backwards or looking upward, does it aggravate the pain... ?
Thanks..! :D

Hi....yes certain positions can aggravate the flow of fluid pinching it off more and this can cause pain, dizziness..etc.
Some of the positions you mention should be avoided, especially if you feel the symptoms flare.
Be sure and let your Drs know .
