So we have been moving this week... I have not been doing a lot other than unpacking a few boxes (not bending over).. today I have this headache that feels like the side of my head may just explode...
Question... with the knowledge that i have this extra fluid around the brain... Do I need to worry? I also feel like I am about to vomit and I can not move from the couch without being so dizzy I feel like I am going to fall... Being validly worried or just an anxiety attack?

Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.

If you struggle with motor function, you should go to the ER. If you just feel lousy and dizzy, probably just over doing it. Does your health plan have an advise nurse you can call ?

Motor functions like touching my nose or walking? I am still able to walk and talk... when I close my eyes and touch my nose it lands on my forehead...
