A member asked:
Person with vp shunt complains of dizziness, feeling he will pass out, nausea for 3 days, worsening headache x week. no other symptoms. go to er?

Sounds wise: There is no reason to wait for diagnosis and treatment. While the symptoms may or may not be due to problems with the shunt, the fact that the person has a shunt warrants evaluation. Go to the er and get checked out.
