Your current chief complaints and any relevant history
Head throbs (unable to stabilize my heartbeat). Suspected suboccipital injury. Developed slight binocular vision dysfunction.
I snapped something in the back of my head (head in flexion and under strain) and had a spinning headache that became more subtle over time, but never fully healed. Symptomatology gets worse over the course of the day, with upper body workouts (or anything requiring cervical stability) making it worse as well. Laying the back of my head on a pillow makes the throbbing more noticeable.
What helps the most is doing vision therapy exercises to strengthen the eye (and I think suboccipital) muscles, and rest.
My cervical posture is also not great.
Do you have any other serious illnesses that I need to know about?
- Binocular vision dysfunction.
- Trigeminal nerve dysphoria.
- Suspected chronic clenching.
- Possible referred pain in my teeth and eyes.
Questions
- What's likely injured? Left or right side?
- Exercises to strengthen the suboccipital muscles?
- Is it possible to get better imaging when my head throbs?
- Exploratory surgery? What type of surgeon?
- Ask about cervical posture.
