What Causes Increasing Head Indentations With Soft Spot Sensations, BP And Dizziness?

I have over the last 6 months noticed indentations on the top of my head. They are getting bigger and now seem to be moving down onto my forehead. The have increased in size. They feel like the soft spot on the top of a baby s head. No other symptoms other than low blood pressure and occasional dizziness. Should I seek medical assistance?

Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM! I understand your concern.
The new indentations on your head may be caused by different disorders affecting your skin, soft tissues, bones and brain covering layers( the meninges).
These may be inflammatory, infectious, traumatic causes. You don't refer any head trauma.
A vitamine D deficiency could also cause bone deformations with these changes.
So I would recommend to have a good physical examination by your GP, a full blood work, Vitamine D and Calcium levels and a head xray in two directions to evaluate better the problem and find the possible cause.
Hope to have been of help!
Best wishes!
