Brief Answer:
Get done sodium and potassium levels.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the reports you have attached.
Vertigo is basically a problem of inner ear.
So better to consult ENT doctor and get done clinical examination.
Also get done sodium and potassium levels as electrolyte disturbances can also cause similar symptoms.
I don't think it is related to tubercular drugs because she was not having Vertigo before (when she was on AKT 4).
So consult ENT doctor, get done electrolytes.
Please let me know
1. Is she having diabetes?
2. Is she having hypertension?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
