Suggest Treatment For Persistent Dizziness And Tingling Sensation In The Head

Hi, My father is facing a severe head problem since 3 years. He gets a tingling sensation in left side of his head followed by dizziness. No other symptoms. It usually occurs after lunch and lasts for an hour. Please advice. As per my knowledge, it seems a case of Multiple Sclerosis. My father has also undergone many tests but everything was negative. Doctors prescribed him medicines for Vitamin B12, yet it has no effects on his condition. Please advice.

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You have not mentioned which test has been done..

Here vitamin b 12 and calcium deficiency usually ruled out first

But as you have history since three year, the organic causes has to be ruled out by cranial nerves examination and MRI scan like investigation

Than according to cause further specific treatment can be prescribed

The neuropathy can be cause secondary to bulged disc or by any systemic illness...
Alcohol, smoking and diabetes also leading cause for neuropathy

If needed nerve biopsy or NCV like testing useful

Take care

Consult neurophysician for examination
