Brief Answer:
Take
Betahistine and
Prochlorperazine tablets
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
I need more information :-
* since when do you have this problem?
* Is there associated
nausea or
vomiting along with spinning sensation?
* Does spinning sensation occur on turning your side while lying down?
* Do you hear ringing in the ears?
* Are you able to walk without swaying or the room spinning?
Nevertheless, the brief information provided points towards either,
1. a common condition of internal ear problem (called
Labyrinthitis); or,
2. A benign, transient condition called Benign Paroxysmal Positional
Vertigo (BPPV).
The treatment is the SAME for both conditions.
I recommend that you take:-
# Tablet Betahistine 16mg thrice daily x 3 days; thereafter, 8mg THRICE daily till you recover completely.
# Tablet Prochlorperazine (an anti-histaminic, anti-emetic drug) twice daily, along with Betahistine, till you have complete recovery.
You will be completely OK within 7-10 days.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with my opinion; order required tests, and will prescribe the advised drugs in appropriate doses.
Hope I have addressed to your concerns to your complete satisfaction and you find my response helpful and informative. I will be happy to answer further queries, if any.
Fond regards and have a nice day,
Dr. Rakesh Karanwal
