Suggest Treatment For A Pineal Cyst
Question: I have a 8mm pineal cyst. Can it affect my sleep?
Brief Answer:
Very uncommon.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
It is unusual for a pineal cyst to cause sleep problems, but cannot excluded entirely as a possibility, since pineal gland is involved in circadian rhythm.
If the cyst compresses nearby structures, it may cause sleep problems, but other symptoms such headaches, nausea, vision impairment etc. may be present.
It is necessary to upload the imaging report that identified the cyst in order to understand better your condition.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.
