What Causes Lightheadedness And Dizziness When Diagnosed With Kidney Disease?
My father in law is a 78 year old diabetic who has recently been diagnosed with kidney function problems. For the last month or so he has about 1 day a week in the afternoon where he becomes lightheaded, dizzy and begins throwing up? What could be causing this? I noticed that he doesn t seem to heave from the gut but it starts out almost like a burping acid or heartburn issue.

Hello,
For headache and dizziness, his blood pressure and blood sugar value need to be checked first at such old age.
For acid reflux, he need to be given an antacid course like pantoprazole.
His Otological examination also needs to be done to check for an ear infection is present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
