What Is The Remedy For Weight Loss With Migraine When On Propranolol?

My mum is 82, loosing weight, which has been investigated, no cause found, however, she feels unwell, emotional and frustrated, dose'nt feel like doing anything. She has stated she feels off balance, and a feeling as if the floor she is walking on is uneven.

Suffers with migraine, treated with propranolol ( long term under control) , had a bout of vertigo one year ago. No other history..

Your thoughts please?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The symptoms that you have stated suggest that your mother is having a depression. She should be either on escitalopram or fluoxetine or venlafaxine etc. With the control of symptoms of depression, her weight should also get controlled.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
