What Causes Dizzy Spells Along With Burning Sensation In Legs?
A couple of times, recently, I have gotten very dizzy, after standing from a sitting position. I occasionally feel a bit dizzy, legs weak, and a kind of burning sensation in legs, after sitting in a car for long periods. It subsides very quickly. I am 73 years old, a connection to age or something more sinister?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query dizzy spells along with burning sensation in legs can occur due to many reasons like middle ear infection , some kind of growth in middle ear or fluid in middle ear ( Meniere's disease ) . The symptoms can also occur due to acoustic neuroma. Hyperthyroidism can also cause such symptoms .You should not ignore this , because sometimes the condition get complicated. i would suggest you to start with antibiotics, steroids and labrynthine sedatives for 5 to 7 weeks. you should go for vestibular rehabilitation exercises. You should consult with your ENT specialist and get evaluated. Doctor may order audiometry test and tuning fork test and treat it accordingly. Avoid touching and pricking it with any sharp object. Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for memory loss .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
