What Causes Chronic Dizziness And Fatigue With Excessive Weight Loss?
My 83 yr old uncle is experiencing chronic dizziness (today, he fell), difficulty projecting his voice, 30 lb weight loss in a short period of time, fatigue and dry heaves. He has been to the hospital multiple times and the run multiple tests and tell him that it is Vertigo and send him home. They have done an MRI, blood tests. He has a hx of prostate cancer and now needs a catheter. He had radiation seeds implanted in 2006 or 2008.
