Diagnosed with chiari malformation, syringomyelia. Complaining of hotness in body, getting goosebumps. Also has pot syndrome. Suggestions?
Patient: Hi my daughter has chiari malformation and syringomyelia with constant low pressure headaches that her neurosurgeon is trying to figure out now. She just recently had her shunt changed because it was flowing too fast but low pressure headaches are still occurring. For two days now, she is complaining of her body getting the feeling of hot starting in her hands and moving up her arms then neck and the. Down her body. All the while she gets "goosebumps" but doesnt feel cold. Any ideas or thoughts on this? They also have told us she has pot syndrome. But these last two days of checking her BP and HR, she has been regular numbers. Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMI carefully gone through the history of your daughter, the over all clinical symptoms are very likely in such spinal cord disease, which may not be worry some at this stage I think expert neurosurgeon manages such case in very nice way, I would advise you to stick with your neurosurgeon, every thing will be alright your another concern is pot syndrome this also is part of spinal disease and the treating doctor will definitely take care of it, take care of your child, I would be happy to help you for any further query, bye
