I have been having dizzy spells along with a weird feeling in my head, the feeling of electric shock/impulses, it is not painful & seems to happen along with the dizzy episode. It doesn t go away for weeks. its more noticable when I move my eyes or my head. I get so nauseous I start throwing up. My Dr. thinks this happens when my blood pressure is low and thinks I have POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I don t think I have this though because my blood pressure isn t low and it happens when im sitting or standing. HELP!
Hello dear, Considering the fact that your blood pressure is within normal limits, the symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthine or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Linearizing preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician). So, kindly consult your Physician/ ENT Specialist & get a complete clinical examination done. Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. And also take precautions like getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
