Got Hard Hit On Ribs. Feeling Nausea And Dizziness. How To Overcome This Problem?
Question: had a hard knock on right side under ribs now have bad nausia and dizziness for 4 weeks cheers rog
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The nausea and dizziness that you are having is not likely to be related to the injury you had 4 weeks ago.
Dizziness can be there due to multiple reasons but at your age there are three possibilities that are coming to my mind-
1. Anaemia- reduced blood hemoglobin levels. This can be ruled out by getting a complete blood picture done.
2.Cardiac problem- Missing heart beats are one of the common causes of dizziness or it might happen due to some irregularities in the cardiac impulse. This can be ruled out on having an ECG done.
3.Weakness, any infections in the recent past, lack of proper regular meals, as a side effect of some medicines, cervical spondylosis, middle ear disease, etc.
All these factors will have to be ruled out with the help of your physician to come to the actual problem for treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
