Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Walking In A Person Suffering From Vertigo

Another possible vertigo episode to get further checked...
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxx,
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
1. You are saying to have difficulty walking straight. Do you feel: lightheaded? room spinning around?
2. You are also reporting to have vertigo before. It could be another episode of vertigo that needs further evaluation now:
- ENT examination to rule out inner ear problems
- monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels, record the results for future reference
- get an X-ray of the spinal cord (neck area) to rule out spondyloarthrosis which can be another potential cause
3. For the moment (until you see an ENT specialist and run the above-mentioned tests), I advise to:
- avoid walking or moving if you have difficulty/or spinning sensation
- you need to start prescription betahistine orally to dominate the symptoms
- take oral anti-inflammatory medications
Hope it was of help!
