Neurologist Questions Headache

Headache

Hey! I'm suffering from arachnoid cyst behind the cerebellum. It gives my head a lot of pressure, blurry eyes, dizziness, pressure behind the eyes, no balance, low blood pressure, can't focus on things and more.. I've been to the hospital several times. Had an MRI, and took all the medication that was in my prescription since last year. Is there any other solutions for my symptoms? Hoping for response, thank you!

Please continue working closely with your physician to address your specific symptoms and condition. Depending on the severity and location of the arachnoid cyst, treatment options may include surgery, drainage, or continue monitoring. Discuss your symptoms with a neurosurgeon to explore potential solutions and ensure you receive the most appropriate care.
If you  have seen a Neurologist and  he/she feels that your symptoms are directly related to the cyst and not other causes; Then the best choice would be to send you to a Neurosurgeon to determine if surgery is best for you. Has your doctor ruled out POTS ( Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Recently there's been an increase in the cases after Covid or the Covid vaccines.  Good luck.  Dr F.
