i had vertigo 2 years ago but seemed to recovered from it. i sometimes have issues but nothing major. i'm flying next week will it bring back vertigo?

Question

Past week I have had pressure in back of my head along with vertigo, I am worried of a brain tumor 2 years ago i had a cat scan and EEG can back fine?

Answer 1

Probably not.: Would take decongestant before boarding plane and chew gum during whole flight

Answer 2

Poor blood flow: The balance centers of the brain depend on good blood flow to the brain. If the heart is beating slowly or is not pumping enough blood into the brain, you will feel dizzy. First is to lie down so that the blood flow does not have to go uphill. Next is to lift the legs to be sure enough blood is getting into the heart. If the brain does not get enough blood flow, you can pass out and fall.

Answer 3

Could be : She needs to be seen and have that evaluated. Black center means a necrotic center and may need to be debrided. Make an appointment.

Answer 4

Hard to say : Since haiti is a semitropical country, and other exotic diseases exist ther that may not exist in the usa, this is hard to say. It is possible that this could be a "necrotic bite" but this could be due to other things beside a spider. Eitherway, i would get her seen by her doctor as soon as possible.

Answer 5

Lesion: A black eschar is often seen with venomous spider bites - but there can be other causes as well. Please have this promptly evaluated. Depending on situation, wound may need debridement.

Answer 6

Can be other causes: Dizziness with exercise doesn't just happen with inadequate hydration. If a person is well hydrated, and still gets dizzy, her doctor can evaluate. Sometimes there are circulation problems, such as not enough blood flow to the brain under certain conditions or activities. There can be heart problems, or not enough red blood cells (anemia), etc...

Answer 7

Get checked : Dizziness post exercise requires an examination. You should schedule this asap. I would back off any vigorous exercise until then. You may have a cardiovascular issue. Good luck.

Answer 8

Depends on hormones : I think that would depend on the type of hormone you are talking about and the scan you had. If you didnt get instructions then check with your doctor first. Did you have a thyroid scan? Was it a bone scan or a density scan?

Answer 9

Check with the doc: Many blood pressure medications take longer than a week to have their full effect. Check with your doctor as you may need a higher dose or another medication. Hbp is damaging over the long term most of the time and not over a few days so check with your doctor.

Answer 10

Urine metabolite WU.: You seem to have a high blood pressure for no other issues. This might be a catecholamine producing lesion in your body called a pheochromocytoma. This does have other symptoms, like sweating, headaches, palpitations, and weight loss, but the biggest thing is pronounced hypertension. It might also mean the BP meds need more time. Get a urine catecholamine metabolite 24 hour collection to see.
