I am 67 years old and was told by a neurologist some time ago that I had a cluster of veins on the right side of my head. I also have severe spider veins. I have tinnitus, problems with balance, shortness of breath, weakness, palpitations, low blood pressure, tingling around my mouth, tingling in lower legs. I have had cardiac studies and all were negative. Going back to my family physician tomorrow. Not sure what s going on. I need help preparing for that visit. His initial diagnosis was vertigo. However, I think more is going on. I feel so very ill. My father died of a stroke.
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case, I would consider the possibility of specialized imaging of your brain vessels (Anglo MRI, DS Arteriography) to check for and rule out arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous or rural fistulas, because those diseases carry a high risk of stroke, hemorrhage and serious consequences to your health. Those imaging studies have to be done because of your symptoms and venous problems you referred. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
