Pressure in my head when I bend over
« on: September 19, 2010, 06:55:10 pm »
I'm 10 weeks post op and doing better each day. I have pressure in my head when I bend over to do anything.  It's a swooshing in my head or it sounds like a heart beat on an ultra sound.  I was wondering how long to expect this to stick around.  I don't get headaches, just the pressure.  It just makes it hard to do a lot things. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi, Angel.  I had my surgery at the end of May, so I guess that makes almost 4 months post-op.  I've had this since the surgery and I still get it.  I also feel a bit of pressure on my ear drum when I bend over.  --Carol Ann

Found I actually had a facial neuroma during translab

Hi,

just a thought. If you get headaches or nausea, you should consult with your doctor. It might be increased cranial pressure.

Best regards, Kenneth

I haven't had AN surgery.  But I have that now.  The exact same thing you mentioned.  I haven't been told yet what it is.

Thanks everyone,
It helps so much just knowing that others have gone through the same things.  Also knowing this to will get better in time.  The doctors seem to say everything that happens is normal and will get better.  But it's so much better coming from others that have been through the same thing.
Thanks,
Angela
