What Causes Recurring Dizziness Post Treatment For Stomach Virus?

My mother started with a stomach virus, diarrehea and vomiting for 2 1/2 days, she did not really bounce back from that 100%, then almost 2 weeks later she started with dizziness foe which was taking Bonine and then her primary care doctor told her she was dehydrated to drink gallons of Gatorade, her dizziness started a week ago this past Sat and she is better now, her M.D. prescribed a motion sickness patch that she wears for 3 days at a time, today she is finishing her 2nd patch. It has helped but she still gets dizzy when she puts her head back, what could this be? All her bloodwork was fine according to her MD as was her blood pressure. She is 83.

At this age the body strength and functions go weak and upon dehydration, depletion of essential minerals and ions take place. All the things your doctor is prescribing are for replenishment of minerals. Dizziness is directly connected with loss of strength when all the blood work and BP are diagnosed normal.

Whatever your doctor has prescribed, please respect it. Additionally, please give rice and lentils boiled together with little more water content. Put salt, fry it with cumin seeds and little turmeric as usual. Lightest, nourishing and easily digestible food is required. Little deep breathing exercise will give her immense strength and dizziness will go away. I think on World Yoga Day when 35 minutes compact Yoga package will be taught free of cost, all over the globe, you should take your mother there. If not possible you may learn yourself and help your mom doing it at home and see the immense strength coming in a few days.

Please do it for your mother's Welfare and disease free long life.

Hope it enlightens you.
