Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is a neurological problem. CSF tapping can be done and pressure to be observed. Consult a neurologist for examination and advice on treatment.

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