Hello . I can see you are feeling the effects of dizziness which is nausea and headaches too . I am not sure what the indication for the injection in the back was ! The fact that a blood patch done indicates an intrathecal injection . In that case the side effects of the Kenalog could be causing all the symptoms you are having . I would suggest a symptomatic remedy with betahistine along with a pain killer for the headache ,the safest being a paracetamol . A visit to an ENT who specializes in Vertigo should also help . I would think that the symptoms should start receding soon. In case of this persisting , I think a thorough check up with a neurologist would become essential

Hope I have helped you with this
