Thank you. I am a female and allergic, XXXXXXX and I am already on med for allergies. I do not take steroids due to the fack I for got to tell you I have Waldenstoms Macocroglobulemia I also take Advair for breathing problems. Is the dizziness due to the ADVAiR as well as everything else? Digestible foods I can do , due to the fact i have constant diarrhea everytime i eat. Any other suggestions. Very worried about not being able to do my job without problems

Hi XXXXXXX
As you age is 56 and dizziness is there with loose motions nausea and vomiting it could be related to internal ear also. Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes episodes Of vertigo dizziness that may be associated with nausea vomiting cramps and loose stools.50-60 is the most common age of presentation.
Would suggest you to follow up with an ENT specialist in person.
Few test recommended are-
Caloric test.
VEMP test
