What Causes Periods Of Dizziness, Tremors, Muscle Cramps And Nerve Pain?
Question: I have been having periods of dizziness for two months. I constantly feel shaky and am starting to have muscle cramps and random nerve pain. The cramps and pain seem to be random and seem to move around my body. Have also had ear pain and feeling of fullness in my ears. I am getting progressively weaker and have a general loss of appetite. Down approximately 8 lbs in two months. MRI, CT and all blood work have been normal.
Brief Answer:
Need work up and management
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. With all radiological reports normal and sensation of ear fullness and ear pain, this dizziness is likely attributed to labyrinth involvement of inner ear and need a complete vestibular functions for that assessment. You should use beta histidines as well for the dizziness these work like charm in such full sensations ear aches leading to dizziness.
A differentials of Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , Anxiety disorders, other inner ear conditions like meniere's disease also needs to be ruled out.
>Be aware that dizziness may make you lose your balance, which can lead to falling and serious injury.
>Avoid moving suddenly.
>Stand up slowly.
>Fall-proof your home by removing tripping hazards such as area rugs and exposed electrical cords. Use nonslip mats on your bath and shower floors.
>Sit or lie down immediately when you feel dizzy.
>Avoid driving a car or operating heavy machinery if you experience frequent dizziness.
>Use good lighting on stairs and where you walk if you get out of bed at night.
Walk with a cane for stability, if necessary.
>Avoid using caffeine, alcohol and tobacco. Excessive use of these substances can worsen your signs and symptoms.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
