What Causes Severe Indigestion, Nausea And Dizziness With A History Of Labyrinthitis?
Question: I had an experience 2 years ago that has haunted and scared me. I woke up early in the morning from a sound sleep with severe indigestion, which I had never had previously or since. I was also nauseous and sweating. This was followed by an urgent need for a BM. Went into bathroom. When I got up, I was so dizzy, I could hardly walk and was faint. I remained in bed the entire day.
When I turned my head even slightly, my symptoms increased. I had severe labrynthitis many years ago and was very dizzy but did not have indigestion, sweating, faint feeling or the vasovagal type response. The helplessness was frightening.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Your symptoms are very common in patients with previous labirinthitis who are complicated with indigestion. They may experience vasovagal syncope which is responsible for your symptoms.
If you were my patient I would recommend as follows:
- Avoid standing up very fast from bed or from toilet.
- Use prebiotics and tasectan for indigestion.
- Use betahistine for dizziness
If the symptoms will persist than you should go to ER for help.
Wish you health!
