Spinal Fluid

10/27/2009

Question:

I have a sack of spinal fluid in my head. What can be done about?It is getting larger. Every time my heart beats it spurts fluid into the sack. I am 65 years old and am so tired of this headache. Can you help me?

Answer:

Thank you for visiting NetWellness. Unfortunately, you have not provided much information for me to be able to answer you question, but this is really only a question that a health professional can answer after a thorough examination. Some questions I would ask of you include: 

  • Have you seen a specialist?
  • Were you given an actual diagnosis?
  • Have you seen a neurosurgeon, or just a neurologist? 

You probably ought to get a referral to a neurosurgeon to be diagnosed and receive treatment.
