What Causes Indentation In Skull Base With Hypotension?

In the last 2 months I have developed an indentation at the base of my skull on the right side. I have had no recent injury, but have also developed orthostatic hypotension in the last 6 months. Which type of doctor should I go to for these symptoms?

First i need to know the full report which made diagnosis of indentation of skull base. the treatment depend on how much it is and is it causing any compression on the surrounding structures or not.
For orthostatic hypotension, you need to undergo few test to find possible cause. You can consult cardiologist (for orthostatic hypotension) and neurosurgeon (for indentation in skull bone)
