What Is The Treatment For Headache And Dizziness?
Hi I'm 54 years old and for a week now I been having a salty taste in my mouth, the first two days it was more of a metallic taste now it's salty. Mo matter what I do I can't get rid of the salty taste. Rinsing my mouth with clean water is like rinsing with sea water. I also have some headaches,slight dizziness and feeling a little nauseous

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache and dizziness, these symptoms can occur due to many reasons like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, inflammation within the inner ear, meniere's disease , ear infection, acoustic neuroma , sinusitis and multiple sclerosis. Need not to worry. You should avoid bending foreword. You should take steam inhalation , drink ginger tea thrice a day and do light exercises daily .
I would suggest you to consult with ENT specialist for proper checkup so that there will not be any further complication. 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 sedatives , antibiotics , decongestants ,drain sinus and some ear aid.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
