So worried about what’s wrong with me...

[Hypo27]

The unsteadiness when walking, the dizziness, the headaches its just all seeming to be progressing so fast... I don't know what to do I'm scared.. I'm eventually not gonna be able to walk on my own because of the unsteadiness :(. Has anyone here heard of anyone with chiari?

[Fishmanpa]

Well chiari malformation could definitely cause all of this but I don't know what else could..

I do!

You definitely didn't read through that All your symptoms are there including the shortness of breath at the beginning of the thread. Can I ask why you're posting on an anxiety forum waiting on replies if you feel that bad?

Why ask what else could? Fishmanpa provided you with an excellent and most likely factual alternative to a brain tumor. You also just said that chiari malformation could cause this. Why spend your time asking what else? What if it is actually one of these less sinister alternatives? Again, take a deep breath and ground yourself in reality.

Best Wishes.

It’s more than likely chiari but it’s not really less sinister. It can cause fluid to build up in my head from blockage of spinal fluid which I hope isn’t happening but idk what could cause a worsening of my symptoms :(

Thank you for explaining that. I understand better. If you're truly worried then please make an appointment to see a medical professional. Only a medical professional can provide you with the answer to your question.

Best Wishes.

I have an appointment in a couple weeks with my pcp but I think I need to go to the er.. My unsteadiness is really bad today my feet feel like they are disconnected from my brain :(

I don't know if anyone here knows about chiari or anything but the surgery is a big deal. It terrifies me even thinking about it needing it done but I really might need it.. I see a neurosurgeon about October 15th but that's seems so far away this is getting bad fast..
