Getting appointment for Hopkins/ Bad day

[Guest guest]

Hi all, hope everyone is finding some joy in life today.

Today was the first time I ever left work early because of a

sickness. I went to work knowing I had a hard time swallowing. I felt

like some was trip in my throat. I started getting light headed and

dizzy. I ended up going to the ER. They gave me another EKG(normal)My

blood pressure was 145/98. They said was getting too stressed out. SO

I went to my doctor later in the day. She order a Throat scan to see

if it is Chiari related. What a mess!

I have a question. I got the transcript papers back from my

neurosurgent. On it it says the tonsils of the cerebellum extend

approximately 50mm below the foramen magnum. What does this mean?

And all the presence of tonsillar displacement by 15mm. Can anyone

one give me more information on this and what it means.

What can I exspect from going to Hopkins Hospital?

Any information would be helpful.
