What Could Cause Dizzy?

hi, I,m having a problem with being disorienent, weak leg and kind of dizzy. It all started after I had a choking spell, where I couldn't breath or talk for about 2minutes. my doctor at frist thought it was an interear problem but it wasn't.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your current symptoms are due to hypoxic brain damage.
You had choking episode where you didn't breath for 2 minutes.
During this 2 minutes, your brain was deprived of oxygen. So there is low oxygen (hypoxia) level in your brain during those 2 minutes. And this must have caused hypoxic brain damage.
This kind of damage can cause dizziness, disorientation, weakness in leg etc.
So get done MRI brain to diagnose hypoxic brain damage.
So ask you doctor about this possibility and need office MRI brain.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
