Suffering From Dizziness. Diagnosed With Small Cell Lung Cancer. Underwent Chemotherapy And Radiation. Are These Related?
My husband has been suffering with dizziness for several years. He has had every exam possible and seen just about every specialist. He recently was diagnosised with non small cell lung cancer and has undergone chemo and radiation therapy. He gets very dizzy many times a day to the point where he has to stop and hold onto the wall for balance. Since no one can figure out why he has this problem, can his symptoms be treated to at least ease the dizziness?

Hi,
Dizziness may be the effect of chemotherapy. Otherwise vertigo and dizziness should be differentiated. Many a time patient can not differentiate these two symptoms. Your doctor can help you. Chemoradiotherapy often associated with fatigue. If other organic causes are ruled out then symptomatic measures can be taken. Do not worry. Your doctor can better guide you.
