Is Dizziness With Vertigo Normal While Suffering From MS After An Accident?

Hi. I was in a rear end collision last Thursday. I know that alot of people claim whiplash right away. It is now tuesday, and I have been dizzy, virtago and small electric type shocks that run through my body when I move my head from side to side. A little background on me, I do also have MS, and these shocks are similar to the ms shock but not them same as they feel like short little shocks. Should I go get seen for possible whiplash or could it be something else associated with the accident.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and agree that these are indirectly related to the accident.

These symptoms are possibly related to MS, however, have got aggravated due to the accident.

As of now, you can take symptomatic treatment- betahistine tablets to relieve the dizziness and pregabalin for electric-shock like sensations.

However, if they do not get better, you can consult your neurologist.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
