Hi,
Thanks for the update. It is good that the spinal tap was normal. Do you have the results of the rest of the blood tests? Meningitis is inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. This may be caused by infection with viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms. Treatment usually depends on the cause and antibiotics may be indicated for bacterial etiology. Do keep us posted with the test results. Take care always.
Thank you for the kind words. I havent had any trauma to the head or neck, no car accidents or anything like that. The neurologist suspected mild signs of meningitis and set me up for more blood tests which i will find the results of tomorrow. I did have a spinal tap done which came back normal as far as i know since they discharged me from the ER about an hour after the procedure.
Hi,
How are you? Was there any trauma to the head or neck? It is good that the CT scan and blood tests were normal and you will be seeing your neurologist soon. The tingling sensation and headaches are usually associated with neurological issues and a complete neurological examination will help. I agree also that the chest discomfort can be associated with GERD, that can be managed with medications. Try to relax and think positive. Hang on and avoid feelings that could lead to depression and excessive worrying. Take care and do keep us posted.
i am also scheduled to see a neurologist next week and a physical therapist soon to see if that relieves any symptoms.
