Suggest Medication For Frequent Dizziness
I am 41 years old, having dizziness often also had black out while I was pregnant to my daughter due to extra heart beats that I know have had since I was young. Got a bruises on my right lower leg after long period of constant numbness on my big toe and bottom of my right feet. My dad is using anti-coagulants since he was 40, I have tick blood and low pressure usually is around 9-10/70-60 also low puls like 40-52. I am an active person do gym dance and pilates and taking low dose aspirin almost everyday 3 times and vitamins. Wondering having hard and deep breathing mean anything along with the bruises on my right leg. Numbness is there for years now and than.. Thank you.

Hi,
I understand your concern and would recommend performing further tests to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia or peripheral arteriopathy:
- a Doppler ultrasound of the cervical arteries and peripheral arteries to examine the blood flow in them. - a cardiac ultrasound and an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to examine your heart function and structure
- some blood work (complete blood count, uric acid levels, fasting glucose, blood lipid profile, kidney and liver function tests, PCR, sedimentation rate)
A nerve conduction study may be necessary if suspicions of peripheral neuropathy are raised (considering the persistent numbness in this region)
Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
