Diabetologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I think these symptoms are highly suggestive of a possible "near syncope" with "severe gastritis". Ideally, I would need to examine her for a complete diagnosis.

However, I would like to explain it like this-

1. the weird, often bitter taste in the mouth with excess watering could be due to severe gastritis.

2. the dizziness may be a vasovagal reaction to the above which may be "near syncope".

I would recommend starting with Pantoprazole tablet twice a day before meals and taking plenty of fluids. As for the tests, I would suggest testing

1. EEG
2. Echocardiography and
3. Upper GI Endoscopy.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saumya Mittal , Diabetologist
