What Causes Head Fullness?

I recently had a third port-a-cath inserted for chemo. The first one was on the left side but the surgeon was unable to reinsert because of scar tissue in the blood vessel that occurred after the port-a-cath was removed. I have been having head fullness and even picking up anything or bending over slightly makes my head feel full and my face all red. Is this because of the scar tissue? Something is not draining fast enough?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have head fullness. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like brain tumor , acoustic neuroma , migraine , meniere's disease or stress .
