Suggest Treatment For Persistent Dizziness And Nausea
Question: I've been having dizziness for a month now. I have nausea and lots of bloating. Sometimes I get pain on my left side. The dizziness almost makes me feel like I'm going to pass out. The doc said my blood preesure was fine and wants me to wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 hrs. This will not take place for another few weeks and I'm not feeling any better
