Helllo,
there is a doubt for a loss of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal area with subsequent low intracerebral pressure, this should be confirmed by imaging such MRI of the spine.
If confirmed then injection of autologous blood into the spinal epidural ( lumbar ) space should improve the condition. Discuss with a Neurologist for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
