been having bouts of double vision that last under 2 minutes since 9/16.(at least 3 weekly) I have a pressure on the left side of my head in the temple region through my cheek bone and eye to the back left side of the base of my scull. Scull stays tender to the touch. Since the first episode left side of face is numb.body stiffness mainly left side of body. I m left in a confused state of mind, having memory issues, long and short term. Newest symptom when swallowing food , drink fell as though the are stuck just at my solar plex I have to arch back to get it to move. This is not constant Have had 2 MRI S 1 MRA. All the found was a nasal polyp. When I have these episode my blood pressure sky rockets the highest was 198/89, but withing in 30 minutes returned to my normal 119/78. now after several months of this my blood pressure is taking 3 or more days to come down. Having more frequent episodes I am averaging 140/86, any ideas or suggestions I could take to my Doctor would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

Serious acute intracranial pathology must be ruled out, so you should see your doctor right now. It will probably include a CT or MR scan of your brain.

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

Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen,
General Surgeon
