I was violently vomiting once earlier and I had a headache and severe dizziness. I have taken paracetamol 500mg and 5mg of cyclizine. I have had these symptoms for 3 weeks on and off. My worry is that I have a programmable shunt for Hydrocephalus and am worried that it may be malfunctioning
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! I agree with you on the fact that your symptoms could be related to a shunt dysfunction (as you refer to have one) and increased intracranial hypertension. For this reason, I would recommend performing a brain CT scan, in order to be sure that everything is OK. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
