Question: MRI shows radiculopathy and typical though diminishing clinical signs. Either related or concurrent I had affliction by middle of day of a kind of groginess. had vertigo first time (2008). Not now, but was concerned re cardiac signs. recend ecg for flutter not implying MI type disorder though not comprehensive obviously. Going to see a neurosurgeon re radiculopathy but wondering about mid brain type signs. Blood profile normal.

The neurosurgeon is just related to the MRI and presumption of peripheral nerve compression around C5. I could send images but its just on dicom without selected JPEG and I dont pretend to be an MRI interpreter. Now the clinical signs I experienced are not easy to describe. I had a version of nausea. No vomiting. Though I felt unsteady, I had no balance impairement. I climbed mountains and beat people 18 years younger than me though I was panting and HR ~ 120-160. The only speech problem I have had related to weight loss most likely due to depression, with dilation of the eustachian tube and that loud inner echo when you are speaking. Nothing implying DM or primary alimentary disease. Just not eating enough (long hours, 6' 6" tall, 12 hour day syndrome). No nystagmus. No anisocoria. No ocular dysfunction. I am still doing weight lifting and do higher weight than my 20 something competitors unless they are on anabololics. My enquiry really related to the nausea and strange intracranial sensation . The MRI only showed cerebellum and cervical to CT junction, nothing else. Not vertigo...but almost feels like a hangover. Its a strange sensation. Feel like you are buzzing in your head. Just want to lay down and say "closed" and send clients away. The affliction is fading, as it did in 2008 on the first dx of radiculopathy. Just wondering if something like C5 compression can cause nausea vs just pain and tingle. My R atrium ablation was more than a year ago, and Holter studies says success. No evidence of CHF, although my last echo study was about 3 years ago. NVL. Just wondering about ddx based on nausea imbalance sensation without imbalance dysfunction. Not easy clinical signs I apologise. Just when you go to a specialist they tend to just diagnose within their own field. I was a bit astonished when my EPS physician knew nothing about echocardiology. Regards XXXX ( sonology, laparoscopy, soft tissue surgery, orthopaedics, endocrinology - dogs, cats not humans) Also, around 6 weeks affliction, with initially very high tingle sensation L arm proximal not distal and scapular. Exacerbated when head tilted back. R lateral torticollus tingle and pain demolished. Queziness only diminishing last few days, but because of work and high heat not getting opportunity for high strain exercise (cardio pulmonary, not weight lifting). I "think" I am turning around, but not certain. The quezy sensation just seemed to manifest around midday. Early morning little or no affliction. By 4 pm I felt like lying down as a substitute to collapsing, though i never collapsed. Certainly felt like it though. Still kept working till 7 pm

Thanks for that. My GP just suggested amitryptalline. I worry about that stuff causing restitution of arrhythmia though. He doesn't like SSRI. Recent reviews of hepatic dysfunction makes it scary. Life style change required I think. Though the radiologist said the MRI looked nasty just as radiculopathy, but I have to say I have seen a lot of variation in MRI interpretation. Well I will see the neuro, but I doubt if I will sign a consent on cervical arthrodesis. Regards XXXX
