What Causes Dizziness, Headache And Blurring Of Vision?
My mother is 90 years old and recently has been having headaches, dizziness, some blurring of vision, and sometimes chills. She has been checked out and told she did not have a stroke or even a mini stroke. What could be causing these worrisome symptoms?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Giddiness, blurring of vision, headache etc are commonly seen with hypotension and hypoglycemia in old age patients. No need to worry for brain related diseases as her work up for the same is normal. In old age, due to decreased appetite and oral intake, patient can develop hypotension and hypoglycemia. So get done sugar level and blood pressure monitoring. Tell her to take plenty of fluids orally and keep herself hydrated. Also give him small meals frequently to prevent hypoglycemia. Don't worry, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
