Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acoustic neuroma causing dizzy spells . Well disturbance in your head as you mention in query is probably due to acoustic neuroma . Usually acoustic neuroma cause pressure in head , which gives strange sensation in head . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may recommend stereotactic radiosurgery . You may need surgery to remove an acoustic neuroma. Your surgeon may use one of several techniques for removing an acoustic neuroma, depending on the size of your tumor, preoperative hearing status and other factors. Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for other reasons. For now do mind relaxing exercises like meditation .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
