Hello,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Any pathology in the vestibular apparatus in
inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) & Cerebello-pontine angle.
2. Any fluctuation in blood pressure levels such as
Hypotension.
3. Decrease in blood sugar levels (
Hypoglycemia)
4. Deficiency of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B 12, Calcium, etc. which interferes with blood formation & nerve conduction.
5. Long term use of certain medications.
Investigations like
complete blood count, estimation of blood pressure and blood sugar levels will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
A CT scan of brain might be required to rule out any pathology in the inner ear & Cerebello-pontine angle.
So, it will be better to consult an
ENT specialist & get a proper physical examination done including vestibular function tests.
Based upon that, appropriate management steps could be taken.
Meanwhile, she should maintain adequate hydration, take a healthy balanced diet & avoid stress.
Also, make sure that your mother does not get up or bends down her head suddenly.
She should take some time, it prevents sudden stimulation of semi circular canals in inner ear & reduces the symptoms of vertigo.
Wishing her a good health.
Take care.
