headaches and off balance

[gswebb]

I am 46 yrs old.  I have been having headaches for about 1 month with one headache lasting about 10 days, a little off balance (slight stutter step), speach seems to be a little delayed on some words and not able to speak as fluently. My memory seems a little challenged.  I had a CT scan and MRI.  The MRI showed two white spots about the size of the tip of an index finger.  One on the left and one on the right.  The Nurologist didn't seem to think it was anything to be alarmed by.  I have been having what I think are hot flashes but only in the head area.

I had full blood work done.  I am guessing that Thyroid was included.  I am NOT on any meds.  The Neurologist wants to see me back in a month.  Again, he said really nothing to be alarmed by and if I read the report it would scare me because it says the possibilities of MS, minnie stroke ect.

Hi, I can understand your worrying health concern about headache and balance disorder. Although without being able to examine you it will be quite difficult for us to give you a precise diagnosis here. Since you've had balancing problem for so long it is unlikely to go away, but in most of the people it may still slowly improve after few years. It sounds like that you have benign positional vertigo but if you are significantly affected then I would suggest approaching a physiotherapist for treatment, He or She would like to suggest few exercises that may be of help in your condition. These exercises may help in improving vestibular nerve (Nerve involves in balance) function so the condition. In addition, I would suggest getting a neurologist opinion here as well in order to get complete neurological assessment and further approach. Hope this helps.
