What Causes Headache, Double Vision, Dizziness And Sleep Troubles?
Ok, My sister has a lump sitting on her Cartoid artery. She has had a headache for the past 2 months, but her symptons are getting worse. Since yesterday, she now has double vision, dizziness, cannot sleep, and she feels like she is in a vortex. She is also having problems getting words out that she is thinking. She is very healthy and never had any problems. She is 28, 5 6 -5 7 and around 140 lbs. What should we be doing??
