Hi,

1. As a rule of Tumb: if there is vomiting, headache [dizziness], one has to rule out Meningitis so immediately visit an ER or nearest hospital to exclude the same.

PS. An immediate Neurologist opinion and C.T. scan [if needed] is required since best treatment is to address the underlying cause.


2. but since I'm unable to examine you directly, thus my approach in your case would be:
i. As the age advances Cervical spondylitis is the commonest cause, even then:
ii. If symptoms are severe or associated with any neurological sign, consult a Neurologist.
iii. Check with your blood pressure, neck movements and look for pallor & murmur [Cardiologist opinion], and ask for cochlear symptoms [deafness & tinnitus] & vestibular symptoms [vertigo & nystagmus]
iv. If the symptoms are not promptly controlled, ask for Hb%, X-ray cervical spine [AP & Lateral], ENT & Ophthalmic checkup till then:
- bed rest, avoid movements if symptoms are severe.
- tablet cinnarizine till symptoms are controlled.
- capsules B complex.

Check baseline investigations like serum electrolytes, thyroid, and cholesterol profile and blood sugar level.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood,
