Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Severe Dizziness And Dehydration
At my Doctor s recommendation I was taking Iron tablets and vitamin C for Iron deficiency and Calcium tablets with Vitamin D3 for Osteopenia, when, after about two months I started to get very dizzy when changing position from laying on bed to sitting. Not so much when changing position from sitting to standing. For the last five days i stopped taking any pills and I started to drink one liter of milk per day, but there is no improvement yet. I understood that the dizziness could be caused by dehydration, postural dehydration, and I started to drink more water and put more sea salt in my food. What else I can do? Thank You!
As per my long term experience in clinics, I suspect possible alteration in magnesium or other electrolytes which should be sorted out clinically with basic lab tests and manage precisely in accordance to that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
