#IntercranialHypertension or #Chiari ?!?

In 2019 I randomly started having hemiplegic migraine s and had them for 40 days straight-my neurologist dx me w HI after I end Ed Up in er and they did spinal tap and mri . The past week I started having major symptoms again and I wanted to ask him about Chiari. Here is how it usually go’s: neck stiffens, then eye zig zags swirls , phantom smell, left side face droop, aphasia, then the screaming pain behind my right eye. And it’s like a throbbing cymbal inside my head. Severe dizziness especially when eyes closed or walking, so falls happing. Nausea and vomiting. This time it slowly crept up, I thought I just pinched a nerve in my neck cuz I can hardly turn left, went to chyro and as soon as he adjusted I got a Sever headache and dizzy, then it’s just gotten worse ever since. I have all of the above symp except my eyes are just swollen and pulsing, and my head pain is less intense. Oh and severe neuropathy. Any one agree it’s JUST IH or could I possibly have chiari ? #IntercranialHypertension #ChiariMalformation #HemiplegicMigraine #spinaltap #neurologist
