Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please take your wife to the emergency room immediately if her dizziness is persistent and not improving.
Dizziness can be due to many reasons and can happen due to decreased blood flow from heart to brain. When it happens, the blood flowing through the vessels from heart to brain might have a reduced flow. These are by the carotid and vertebral arteries on either sides. She might require emergency brain scan and other investigations to study the flow of blood to the brain.
There are also many other causes of dizziness within the brain like a small stroke like episode or any infection.
Dizziness cal also occur due to problems in the inner ear and balance mechanism of the body.
Visiting the ER will confirm her condition and if it needs immediate medical attention.
Wishing her a quick recovery.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
