Suggest Remedy For Episodes Of Lightheadedness, Blocked Ears And Fatigue
I have episode of lightheadness, blocking of ears tiredness. At one point I sometime have a severe blocking in my ears and then I am aware I will lose my balance, it lasts for a very short period. After I am a bit tired. Two years ago I had my last chemo for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I have difficulty sleeping, but even if I sleep well I still have the tiredness. Its like I have a head cold but worse. My doctor thinks I am depressed, but I know what depression is like and this is not the cause of my symptons.

Hi there... is your dizziness when your upright or while your relaxing( is it all the time?) Do get your cardiac profile atleast an ECG, BP checked to rule out any cardiac ailment or hypotension. For the lightheadedness , you can safely take cinnarizine 15mg three times a day for a week. What your experiencing could be side effects of the chemo you were on.Also get Complete blood profile done to rule out any other underlying condition.
