What Causes Vertigo Along With Headaches And Pain In Arm?

My husband has been experiencing dizzy spells. He went to the ER after the 5th or 6th spell. They did an EKG, blood work and an exam and concluded it was vertigo. That was about 3 weeks ago. This week he had two nights with severe headaches and starting yesterday, he has had pain all the way down his left arm. What should we do?

Hi Dear ,

As per you query you are suffering from vertigo along with headaches and pain in arm . Well there can be many reasons for vertigo like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , Vertigo may also be caused by inflammation within the inner ear sometimes due to infection , meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma and multiple sclerosis . But as you mention in query about arm pain i would suggest you to consult cardiologist once also to rule out any angina or stroke like condition . Consult ENT specialist for condition like meniere's disease . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI , blood test , audiometery test , rotatory chair test and ECG to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe ant emetic drug , sedatives , antibiotics and some ear aid . For now avoid bending foreword and drink green tea thrice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
