Suggest Treatment For Persistent Vertigo After Removal Of Varicose Veins
I got my varicose veins remomed last year, all went well and back to work in three weeks. The only thing is about a month later I had vertigo type symptons and nausea and raised BP. My GP thought it could have been as a result of the anstetic I had when I had surgery. Roll on twelve months later almost all systoms are gone except the vertigo type systoms occassionally. Also each time I vist GP, I seem to have white coat syndrome as my BP goes up when there down when i am not. Have been put on a 24 Hour monotor and it was perfect, any ideas or am I being paranod, my biggest problem is I worry alot.

Hi,
• Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself and treatment depends on the right cause. You should see your GP if you have persistent signs of vertigo or it keeps coming back.
Causes of vertigo may include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, migraines – severe headaches, labyrinthitis – an inner ear infection.
Medicines, such as prochlorperazine and some antihistamines, can help in the early stages or most cases of vertigo.
Also, we recommend: do simple exercises to correct your symptoms, sleep with your head slightly raised on two or more pillows, avoid bending down to pick up items, avoid extending your neck – for example, while reaching up to a high shelf.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
