Suffering From Pulsating Sensation In The Eyes And Head, Nausea And Dizziness. Diagnosed With Cerebral Leakage At C6. Reason?

I am diagnosed low cerebral fluid leak at C6. I also have a pulsating sensation in the eyes/head that causes nausea and dizziness . The pulses are not related to my heart rate or pulse. My eyes actually change focus on each pulse which is usually 3 to 4 in quantity and then a 15 to 60 second pause then starts again. The pulsing lasts about 1 to 2 seconds.

Hi,

There are many reasons why you might be having the pulsation of your eyes. One of which is something called "cavernous sinus fistula." This is a VERY SERIOUS problem in which there is a blockage in your cavernous sinus. This is the sinus in your brain who has the responsibility of draining ALL OF BLOOD from you the brain and the eyes. When there is clogging of this sinus the blood pools back to the structures where the blood is coming from. I would highly recommend you to see and OPHTHALMOLOGIST or NEUROLOGIST IMMEDIATELY.

Thank you,

Hope it helps.
