What Causes Changed Head Shape, Headaches, Lihgtheadedness And Weakness?

Hi I never used one of these sights before but I find myself trying to google a diagnosis which is probably not wise. I am a 50 year old female about a year ago the top part toward the back of my head started to change shape. It is not a soft spot it is just flat in the middle just not quite round anymore. I have been getting headaches causing me to feel very light headed and weak. I also was told that I needed glasses for reading which I never went to get (not sure if the vision is related) any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

Since you are experiencing a change in the shape of your skull, you should get it clinically examined by a GP, change is skull shape is indicative of bone diseases, trauma, cancer, etc. The change in shape may be related to your vision problems, headache and other symptoms. You can take Vertin-16, one when required to reduce light headedness/ dizziness. Do not do heavy work and avoid driving after taking Vertin. Stay at rest as you feel dizzy and weak.

Get your vision tested, sometimes wearing spectacles (you may need a bi-focal lens) reduces much of the symptoms that you may be experiencing. To ease headache you can take acetaminophen, one SOS when needed. Stay well hydrated. Take food rich in minerals and proteins. Take quality sleep and avoid stressful lifestyle.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
