Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
HI, yesterday I had a severe dizziness between 12 pm and 5 pm. I was in the bed all the time with closed eyes. If I opened my eyes, the things became worse. It became better at 6, 6:30 pm. It happened to me 4 years ago but with vomiting. What could that be?
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 cinnarzine 25 mg [thrice daily] till symptoms are controlled. - capsules B complex: twice daily.
PS. check baseline investigations like serum electrolytes, thyroid, and cholesterol profile and blood sugar level.
