Brief Answer:
Tinnitus with dizziness

Detailed Answer:
hi
Thanks for all the information..
please get a fresh audiometry done because she related hearing loss might be there..tinnitus is more when sensory neural loss is there.. so correction with hearing aid might be required

for dizziness..please take tablet betahistine 16 mg twice daily
tablet stemetil twice daily
tablet vitamin b12 1500 micrograms once daily
all the medicines I prescribed are available only on prescription

when I get up from lying down position keep sitting for few seconds before u get up from bed and stand

avoid pillow while sleeping..
keep a check on your blood pressure..

please send me your audiometry report.

wishing you a speedy recovery

Thanks and regards
