Severe And Sudden Dizziness, Off Balance, Basilar Skull Fracture. Done Blood Test. Is It Viral Infection?
Hi I experienced severe dizziness sudden dizziness at work yesterday with the feeling of falling over and off balance but that was the only symptom present. I went to the ER and had a full set of test , blood , heart enzymes , cat Scan the whole nine yards and basically they couldn't tell me what caused it . They said all my test looked great . I am a 32 year male with pretty good health . My history include basilar skull fracture roughly 19 years ago . I have Afib and recently had an ablation 5 months ago and I'm on blood thinners and meds for heart rate and rhythm . My blood pressure is perfect normally 110/ 70. I recently went to nerololist yesterday and he seemed satisfied with his examine and mentioned something about a possible viral infection causing dizziness but I really don't buy it - any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks for you time
