Suggest Remedy For Dizziness Caused By Stenosis
Question: I have stenosis in my neck and now I am experiencing severe dizziness. What would you recommend ?
Brief Answer:
Betahistine to control dizziness and following other recommendations....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are going through.
Cervical stenosis is commonly associated with dizziness. In such cases, my recommendations are as following:
- apply warm clothing locally
- avoid quick movements of the head/neck
- apply anti-inflammatory cream locally
- continue taking anti-inflammatory meds orally
- take betahistine to ease dizziness
- for the first few days, I prescribe lorazepam or diazepam to control the pain and dizziness better. Can discuss this further with your caring doctor.
- massaging can also help
Wish fast recovery!
