Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You can take vertin thrice daily.

If that doesn’t settle with that then it’s advisable to get a Holter monitoring done and also consult a ENT specialist for ear examination.

Hopefully this will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Holter monitoring is basically a 24 hrs ECG recorder. It helps evaluate cardiac activity over 24 hrs. This is done to see any abnormal heart rhythm over this period of time.

Abnormal heart rhythm can be one of the cause of head spinning or giddiness.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

30 ml or 60 ml of liquor usually do not cause giddiness in morning but as you are taking vertin so you should avoid taking liquor till you finish taking meds.
