What is the cause and treatment for dizziness and pressure on frontal lobe?
Patient: I just finished going on a walk this morning and I suddenly started seeing stars and got dizzy in one eye. I had to cover my eye and try to focus buy was barely able to drive home. When I got home 15 mins later I started noticing pressure build in my frontal lobe and progressively get worse. It has lasted and gotten worse over the last hour. I'm at ER now. What can it be? Doctor: Hello!Welcome on Healthcaremagic!Your symptoms could be related to optic nerve inflammation (neuritis optica). A stroke can not be excluded either. For this reason, I recommend performing a brain MRI with gadolinium enhancement to exclude this possibility. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Kind regards, Dr. Aida
