Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was having mild Giddiiness (while getting up from sleeping). Doctor prescribed vertin 24 mg tablet twice a day. After taking medicine, while the Giddiness is not there, but i am feeling very week. Even after reducing dose to 16 mg, the weakness still persists. Can it be side effets of vertin.
I can understand your concern. Neither vertigo nor Vertin are related to the weakness you are experiencing. Have you lost sleep lately due to vertigo symptoms? Are you eating well balanced diet and energy-rich food? You can start with these simple problems first for the weakness. Try to rest well for a few days and eat well.
If that does not help, go for blood test to test for anemia and Viramin B12 as they are very frequently associated with weakness. You can come back to us with the reports or consult a physician after the test results.
If they also come normal, then other investigations related to specific diseases that are related to weakness may be required.
I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing HCM. Let me know if you have follow up questions.
Best, Dr. Viraj Shah
