Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
Thank you for sending in other medical data of yours.
It is good that no problem resulted during the today's visit. That should make you sleep in peace of not having any serious disease.
I understand it is a problem to have
vertigo, however, it is not commonly related to serious illness. Most of the time, vertigo is a temporary problem which can be resolved easily. Otherwise, it can become intermittent (on-and-off presentation).
With regards to
brain tumor or other serious disease, as long as there was no clue during your Ct-scan and
MRI results, no need to be worried.
Antivert is a good drug to control
dizziness. As you have experienced yourself, you had improvement. However, you need to continue taking it exactly as directed by your doctor.
At last, I'd advise to:
- try to consume water as much as you can during the day
- try to turn you head slowly from one side to the other
- when going from laying position to standing or sitting or vice versa, please do it slowly without rushing.
- when sleeping, try to raise your pillow and avoid "bad" side
- try to avoid driving or traveling until your symptoms disappear.
- Brandt-Daroff exercises are also of a help in such vertiginous episodes.
Hope it answered to your inquiries!
Wish you fast recovery and enjoy life!
Dr.Bardha
