Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m 22 years old and I was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis 5 weeks ago after a sudden attack of non stop vertigo, vomiting and my balance went off. The ENT prescribed dizinil for 10 days, then betaserc 16mg for 3 weeks: 3 times a day for a week, then the dosage lowered to twice a day for 2 weeks. After my last checkup appointment he told me to keep taking the betaserc for 7 more weeks because two of the symptoms are not gone yet. The first is that when i turn my head from right to left my vision is blur, but when i turn my head from left to right its all good! The second symptom is that I feel my head rocking when walking its getting better but still whenever I walk or do any cardio exercise I feel my head is rocking. Is it alright to keep taking the betaserc for 7 weeks? And should i stop taking it if the symptoms are gone before the next checkup in 7 weeks. Shall i go do any tests to know if its a vestibular neuritis or something else? The only test he did was a balance test, and he diagnosed me based on the symptoms. Thank you
Hello.Is it alright taking betahistine for seven weeks.You can stop taking it if the symptoms are gone before seven weeks. If your symptoms disappear, it is not necessary additional tets. if your symptoms persist,it is recommended MRi. I wish you good health. (if the naswer has helped you,plese indicate this)
