What Causes Severe Nausea, Headache, Dizziness And Unsteadiness?
Explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
A central cause for the vertigo should be ruled out. If the onset is acute, with non focal presentation meaning no focal neurological deficit is there and in the presence of hearing loss and tinnitus then clinically its more likely to peripheral vertigo. Causes include Mennieres disease, labyrinthitis and conditions like BPPV. Treatment varies according to the cause. I would advise an ER visit to clinically assess for the cause especially to rule out a central cause with a history of CVA in 1980.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
