Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thanks for posting your query.

Well I would like to tell you that you should get your thyroid levels checked as you have palpitations ,confusion episodes . A 2 D ECHO, ECG should be done to see if there is any kind of heart involvement .

Vertigo can be related or unrelated . A cervical spine X ray to be done and see if there are any osteophytes , cervical spondylosis needs to be ruled out .A possibility of BPPV is also there. Only after diagnosis treatment can be advised . You can discuss these issues with your treating doctor .

Take care.

Dr. Shruti

Dear Madam,

Thank you for reverting back.

Yes sometimes BPPV can also lead to this , in times of vertigo any kind of movement is difficult and this time patient finds her movements very clumsy .
