Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Your symptoms could be related to different causes:

- carotido-cavernous fistula
- sinus infection
- increase ocular tension
- an intracranial infection or inflammation.

That is why, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam, a sinus X ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).

An ophthalmologist consult with ocular tension measurement and ocular fundus exam is necessary to exclude a possible eye disorder.

If all these tests result normal, I would recommend performing a brain MRI.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
