I was just hospitalized and diagnosed with chiari malformation. one doctor said I had fluid in my brain that didn t know where to go. this is after the results of my MRI. another doctor rushed into the room and said that I didn t have fluid that my brain stem was inflamed and this is the reason I may have passed out. Well I didn t just pass out. My blood pressure was low, I was blue ,cold, stiff and I was disoriented and my daughters called the ambulance it took all three to wake me up and when they did wake me I started coughing, The peramedics asked if I wanted to go to the hospital I refused. they also said I had low blood pressure and they asked to see my meds which I keep in a safe. They also asked if I took a second dose without noticing. I said no because its a forced habit already 2 ys same time. Well @ 5
Thanks for giving a nice history medications you are using.You are having multiple cervical n lumbar disc bulges n also u were recently diagnosed to have Arnold Chiara malformation. In Arnold Chiara there will be obstruction to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid from brain to spine due consular descent causing a block at the level of foramen magnum n many times it is associated with HY Chat Doctor. Most of the symptoms which u have may be attributed to Arnold Chiara n severe neck pain may be due to multiple cervical disc bulges. I personally feel you are using many medications of which tramadol,morphine, oxycodone all belong to opioid medication which may lead to dependence. Pls use only one of these n that also u try to taper it slowly. Tab phenteramine should be used only for 2-3 weeks.it is nice that u stopped using it. I advise u to consult a neurosurgeon n he will tell u whether u require surgery for Arnold Chiara. If it is associated with HY
