Brief Answer:
You might need complete blood count, glucose tolerance test, thyroid tests

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Rcifax 400 is given for diarrhea and Vertin 16 for dizziness. You might have had the symptoms earlier and that is the reason your doctor prescribed the medications.

A complete blood count is important for you if not done earlier. This is to see if you have any form of anemia causing your symptoms.

It is possible that there might be something to do with your glucose metabolism and you are unable to sustain normal glucose levels hours after you have a meal or you have thyroid related problems. Doing random blood sugar test and having a normal result is not enough and you might have to take a glucose tolerance test which will sample sugar levels in your blood at fasting and after taking a measured quantity of sugar. The sugar levels will be measured for few hours after taking glucose also to know if there is a decrease in glucose levels and how much is cleared from the blood. Thyroid function test is a simple test which will tell the level of thyroid hormones in your body.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Brief Answer:
Please follow a proper diet plan as per your weight and physical work ups

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

I have read through your earlier query and find that the dizziness has been there for sometime. You are also in the habit of taking controlled diet and doing workouts. The first thing I will suggest in your case is to make an appointment with a dietitian and discuss your diet plans in details. This is because the human body is a machine and input and output energy balance has to be maintained. Once this is done then you can continue trying to adjust to your new diet and fitness plan for a while and see if you still get the dizziness.

Persistent dizziness might require consultation with an ENT specialist and a neurologist to make certain that there are no problems in your inner ear or brain responsible for your dizziness and hunger.

Hope your query is answered.

Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

Its good that you got CT scan brain done. Please feel relaxed there there is no serious condition in your head causing the problems. Since thyroid hormones are on the higher side, it can cause your symptoms. You might have to continue taking medications for sometime to get back to normal. The other and often ignored area is any mental or psychological stress in work, life and relationships that can cause anxiety and these symptoms can be due to that. If you feel that there are some things in your mind to be sorted out then there are professionals to help you out with it.

You can continue doing workouts as you feel comfortable. Please do not over exert yourself.

Hope your query is answered.
