Suggest Cause And Remedy For Dizziness In Patients With Anxiety Disorder
hi i am a 20 year old Female Who suffers from Anxiety Disorder i take anti depressants to try and keep it under control but lately i have been having head spins, dizziness and very tired. i know that i don't eat enough red meat could that be the cause of it? i have a blood test not long ago of a different reason and my blood levels and sugar levels came back fine. if you could help that would be great thanks.
As per your query you have dizziness with anxiety disorder and your are currently taking anti depressants . Well there can be many reasons for dizziness :- - Low blood sugar and iron level ( which you already rule out ) . - Some medications like anti-seizure drugs, antidepressants, sedatives and tranquilizers. - Ear infection . - Due to sonme medication . -Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. - Meniere's disease . - Migraine .
I would suggest you to consult your doctor who prescribed your antidepressants and discuss the whole secnerio whith him . Doctor may alter the dose or prescribe you some substitute . Doctor may refer you to ENT specialist if he/she find this problem to be occur due to ear problem . ENT specialist maay prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ( gentamicine ) at least for a week , hearing aid and recommend vestibular therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
