I have just been diagnosed with Chiari 1 during emergency admission to hospital with long term headaches and high blood pressure. Been referred to Queen Elizabeth University hospital in Glasgow. Don't have any information as I didn't see consultant for more details before hospital discharge. I won't know any more until I get my appointment. I have anti sickness med to ease dizziness but suffer from pressure in head and ears which is causing eye pain and dull hearing.
My 79 yr old father-in-law fell out of bed and hit his head on the nightstand and then on the floor. He went to the hospital completely aware and conscious. Upon being transferred to a new hospital with a better neurology department, he lost consciousness and stopped breathing. He was put on a ventilator and went in for an emergency craniotomy.
With these episodes the blood pressure increases, especially the diastolic which has been as high as 122 mm hg., with a systolic of 180. With one of these episodes the Glasgow Coma Scale reached values of 8, then 6 and his O2 Saturation dropped to 86 with respiratory rate also dropping to 10 and less. Is there Brain Stem involvement? I am also wondering about prognosis and treatment as it is 4 yrs post MVA.

Hey! Congrats on your decision.
Coke is a rough drug and I just wanted you to know that what you're going through mentally/emotionally is 'normal'.
I see you're from Glasgow. I lived in both Glasgow (briefly) & Edinburgh, back in the day. If you're feeling desperate, antsy, rough, alone, whatever -- I'd like to offer you my shoulder (for what it's worth.) You're welcome to PM me anytime, mate. You're not alone. We're here. You Can Do this.
Think depends where your from.
At that point he was considered a 3 on the Glasgow coma scale. He was pretty much left alone after that and it wasn't until 16 hours later that they finally put an emergency shunt in his head and this was only after intense, urgent pleading on our part, convincing the internist he WAS showing signs of life by sticking out two fingers for us.
Could you please tell me reasons for NOT administering a shunt in this type of situation.
You do understand that I'm not a doctor, right? So what I'm about to say is simply my opinion on what may be going on with you.
It's possible you have what's called "Postural Vertigo," somethimes called "positional vertigo." It is defined as "violent vertigo that lasts less than 30 seconds and is triggered by certain head positions."
This type of vertigo is sometimes caused by conditions that damage the semicircular canals........
