Suggest Remedy For Persistent Vertigo

Hi, Lately I have been working late in nights and having an erratic eating schedule. Yesterday, even though I went to sleep earlier than other days, I felt my head was spinning. And all throughout the night, whenever I would turn around I would feel my head spinning. The spinning has not ceased even after waking up. I have not eaten anything unususal, and I do not take alcohol or other drugs. Please help.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent vertigo Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like middle ear infection , labyrinthitis , anxiety disorder , panic attack , heart rhythm disorder , anemia and medication reaction or side-effect . In your case it seems to be due to anxiety disorder. I would suggest you to consult general physician once for proper examination . Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test and blood test along with chest x-ray and CT scan of ear . Doctor may prescribe anti anxiety medication. Take sleep properly and drink plenty of fluids. Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist if he/she find problem to be due to cardiac problems .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
