What Causes Dizzy Spells While Treating Thyroid?

default
Posted on Wed, 7 Oct 2015
Question: I have been experiencing dizzy spells. No vision problems or headaches. I think it has something to do with my laptop usage and posture because as soon as I have started sitting on a table and chair at home and used the laptop then, the dizzy spells have reduced but not completely gone. I have no other medical issues except Thyroid.

Brief Answer:
May be cervical spondylitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Welcome to HCM

I have gone through your query, based on the information you may have cervical spondylitis.

If this is the case your posture can be possible cause.

I would suggest testing a MRI cervical spine to confirm the diagnosis.
Physiotherapy should be started.
If test is positive for cervical spondylitis, a prescription of pregabalin will surely help.

Hope this is of some help to you.

Take care
