What Causes Dizziness And Dry Mouth?

I have dizziness, vertigo. It feels as though the top of my head is buzzing with electricity. Also I have dry mouth and a weird taste is present. I am currently using nicotine patches but not sure if that is part of the problem. Used patches in the past and has never been an issue. I just don t want it to be a brain issue.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain dizziness, vertigo and dry mouth can occur due to a number of causes like severe dehydration, lowering of blood pressure or hypotension, hypoglycemia, wile causes like transient ischaemic attack, or cerebrovascular stroke can also be a cause..
Dizziness and Vertigo can also be related to ear problems like Meniere's disease..

I would suggest you to consult an ENT Physician/ Neurophysician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like evaluation of vital signs, blood sugar, CBC, ECG, MRI etc can be done to rule out the cause and treatment can be done accordingly..

As of now you should drink plenty of water..
You can also chew sugarfree gums and tart candies to stimulate saliva flow..
You can instil artificial saliva drops..
Avoid driving or moving out alone as dizziness and vertigo can lead to accidents..
Take sufficient rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
