Ive been having bouts of dizziness for the past couple of weeks, I dont think it is an ear infeaction as there is no pain or discharge, I havent stood up too quickly as I get it when im sat down or walking or lying down, I dont think its too low sugars as I had a coffee with sugar and an almond croissant about 2 hrs ago. Im only 29 and not pregnant. Please advise if I should bother my doctor with this.
Hello dear, 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. They may not present with any pain or discharge, but repeated attacks of dizziness. 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). If it still persists, then you need to consult your Physician/ ENT Specialist & get a complete clinical examination done. Investigations like estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, 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 of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
