Did you have surgery on your spine that would have caused CSF leaks? If not surgery, what would cause this? Do your MRIs show what levels there is a leak and pressure in your spinal canal?
Have you been to an ear, nose and throat doctor to check you for dizziness/balance/pressure/ringing in ears (rule out Menieres)?
You may also want to check your blood pressure changes from sitting to standing (orthostatic hypotension).
I have had surgery on my cervical and lumbar spine due to compression in spinal cord/nerve roots/nerves. Your surgeon must show you and explain exactly where he/she believes there is compression. Lumbar spine does not necessarily cause pressure in cervical spine. I just had surgery L3-L5 on 8/2/2024 and the stenosis/neurogenic claudication affected lower back/hips/buttocks/legs/feet, not upper body. Cervical stenosis can affect things below the level of compression.

Thank you. My blood pressure does not changes hardly at all from sitting to standing . I have not had any surgery to cause my issues. I have not had an issues like I am experiencing until I went to a chiropractor a year ago and he adjust my neck and entire spine. All of my symptoms started roughly a couple weeks after that neck/spine adjustment.
