Suffering From Vertigo. Prescribed Reglan For Stomach. Will This Help Vertigo Also? Suggestion

I have a friend who is, she believes, suffering from Vertigo. She s very dizzy, and her internist prescribed Reglan for her stomach. I m not sure that Reglan will help her vertigo. What kind of specialist would you recommend that she see for her condition. She s been sick with this for a couple of months now, and she is very discouraged.

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Reglan will not help in vertigo. Your friend should see her doctor and discuss the problem with him. The doctor shall examine your friend for nystagmus and posture related issues and, if need be, consult an ENT specialist. If need be further investigations shall be ordered to know the exact cause of vertigo.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your friend an early recovery.

Regards,
