Suggest Treatment For Constant Headaches And Fatigue

My daughter is having constant headaches and fatigue for the last month and a half. She had low platelets however the Hematologist said that there is nothing serious in her blood. YYYY@YYYY , for the headaches We took her to the Miami Children Hospital, they performed an scan and they said that they saw something that could be Chiari malformation. We have an appointment with a Neurologist on June 16. Aside from the headaches she does not have any other Chiari symptomps. What do you suggest?

Hi,

Yes, early stages of Budd–Chiari malformations show only headache and fatigue. So better to take an early appointment of a neurologist and confirm the diagnosis. An early surgical correction has an excellent outcome.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
