Suggest Treatment For Vertigo, Nausea And Vomiting When Medication Isn't Working
My vertigo started after taking myebretic. I stopped the medication after 5 days which was started 4/12. I took some medication given to me at the drug store for motion sickness (25 mg). That did not help. I went to my family doctor and said I could take a medication beginning with A , same as the motion sickness med. He also offered a low doseage of dizapam, 2 mg. Neither has helped. I threw up today from the head spinning etc. HELP!!
• Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself and treatment depends on the right cause. You should see you GP if you have persistent signs of vertigo or it keeps coming back.
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

Suggest Treatment For Vertigo, Nausea And Vomiting When Medication Isn't Working
Hi, • Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself and treatment depends on the right cause. You should see you 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.
