Fed up

[Shon48]

I have had a 28mm unruptured aneurysm coiled and two stents. I’m learning to walk again with great difficulty . My main problem is that I have extreme dizziness and a very numb face , does anybody out there know if this will go away in time ?? Thankyou

how often are you dizzy? please describe.

i used to get these attacks, they just came on without warning and lasted about firstly for 30mins but gradually got worse lasting upto 2-3 hours. id go to bed after an attack and that was me for the rest of the day.

That’s me exactly , I am dizzy all the time but have to give up and lie down about lunch time. I haven’t been sick for a few days so that’s a plus. I’ve had an MRI last month but no results yet so I guess the beast is still coiled. The consultant said the beast is lying on nerves that work the eye and this might be the new me. No thank you very much. This all started after a second stent was placed inside the first one last September . I was offered a brain bypass 😱😱 but he didn’t recommend it. Really !!!!! How can I possibly live with a numb face , sore neck and this awful dizziness?? Thanks for answering. Shona 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗

shona, there is another cause for the dizziness to do with the ear, where wax gets into the semi circular canals ( which is responsible for balance ) and causes havoc, but thats usually vertigo.

Thank you Steve , I have a g.p appointment for the 26th July so hopefully she will help me . Hospital is useless , follow up is appalling 🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
