Tingling, Pressured Feeling In Right Eyebrow When Bending, Forgetting Things. Suggested Possible Cervical Spondylosis. Thoughts?

Hello I have a tingling/pressure feeling that occurs when I bend down and its very disorientating so much so that I can't think properly. Its just above my right eyebrow and I've been noticing when I experience this then I find it hard to remember certain things. Also the part of my brain on my right side near where my brain hurts (Just below or at the processus mastoideus). I went to the doctor and he recommended Cervical Spondylosis. But I don't think it's this. What could it be?

Hi
Thank you for this question to HCM.

Disorientation, disturbance in thinking and difficulty to remember are disturbances of higher neural functions related to brain and unlikely to be coming from cervical spondylosis.

Cervical spondylosis is a terminology used for degenerative changes in cervical spine which are age related. Common symptoms are neck pain, pain at the junction of head and neck and pain at the base of neck radiating into shoulders. Severe changes may lead to compression of the spinal cord and nerves to give tingling, numbness, grip weakness, difficulty with fine hand functions like buttoning clothes and frequent loss of balance while walking.

It would be helpful to know if you have fever, blurring of vision, sensitivity to light or any other symptoms. Evaluation of other central nervous system function is necessary. I would suggest consulting a neurologist for clinical examination, objective testing and imaging as necessary.

Hope this is helpful. I would be happy to answer any questions.
