Sudden Dent In Back Of Head. Was Hospitalized For Unexplained High BP. Medication Helped. Reason For Dent?
Hello! My husband has a sudden 'dent' in the back of his head. Lower left side. Very strange; indentation behind/near left he, looks triangular, quarter size, sinks down in the middle. He was about 3 wks ago hospitalized for sudden, unexplained high BP which they could not control in the ER after 9 hrs of pounding him w/2 dif kinds of BP meds. He was admitted and floor doctor added a new med ('for lower number'), which seemed to help. His BP's been fine post release. He just turned 50, white male, white collar but high stress level job, very active & health oriented. Was competitive body builder through 1994; still in the gym regularly, eats healthy diet, etc. Thoughts?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Look mam the history given here is indicative of Blood pressure problem as such you have not given reading of his pressure it became difficult to comment on it, again the dent you said has nothing to do with the blood pressure neither with any other clinical condition it might have been there since birth, it might be sighted coincidentally by you so just forget about it, it wont harm to your husband any more, the blood pressure will also be in well control soon just take it easy and have faith in your/his doctor have nice day.
