What Causes Persistent Vertigo With Hot Flashes?
Brief Answer:
I would recommend as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would recommend performing additional tests to investigate for the possible causes:
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to exclude a complex cardiac arrhythmia ( which can not be detected by repeated ECG).
- a brain EEG to exclude epilepsy seizures which can mimic this symptomatology. A brain CT scan may be needed in case of abnormal EEG.
- a cervical spine x-ray study to exclude possible cervical column disk disorder, which can cause loss of balance and falling.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
