Suggest Management For Acute Giddiness

Hi, my mother, aged 60 years, is suffering from a non-diagnosed disease which is very complicated. She is suffering from giddiness almost all the time. It is so bad, she cannot move out of bed for the past 6 months almost now. Even lying down on bed, her head is spinning almost 3-4 times every single day !! We are located at Kolkata, and doctors cannot diagnose properly. She has undergone many tests, but still no improvement. What can the disease be?/ Menieres? Acute Vertigo or Spondilosis, or what? And what treatment would you suggest for the same? Any special doctor you suggest here in Kolkata? Plus, she is a patient of hypothyroidism, asthma, and has joint injuries all over. Her legs are very weak. She can hardly move around these days, cannot get up from bed. She cannot even walk till the drawing room from the bedroom to watch tv and all. Please suggest what to do?

HI
Thanks for posting your query to HCM .

Giddiness can be caused from simple and easily treatable causes to some serious cause .

Simple causes are Low BP / High BP , Low / HIgh Blood Sugars , Low Blood Sodium , Anemia , Vitamin Deficiency , Thyroid Diseases .

Serious Problems are Cardiac Problems either Heart Failure , Aortic Stenosis , Carotid Artery Stenosis , Arrthymias etc , Brain Problems like tumors , Stroke .

Evaluation involves extensive investigations and Scanning . Before advising any investigations I would like to go through all the investigation report and then advise you what needs to be done in helping in diagnosing her problem .

So kindly upload all the reports done till now for her Giddiness problem .

She can take Tab Vertin 8mg 3 times a day till then .
