What Causes Dizziness, Headaches And Disorientation In A Smoker?
Hi, I am 32 years old male. I used to be regular smoker (3-4 cigarettes) a day but off-late have come down to 3-4 cigarettes a month coz of the dizziness i start having after puffing half cigarette. On two occasions, I almost fainted. For past few days, I am having headache very often, (life is stressed at the moment) and at times gets nervous/confused while driving also. What all it could be. ? Plz help.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizziness, headaches and disorientation. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like stress and anxiety , ear infection or condition like meniere's disease . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , hearing test , rotatory chair test along with prong test . Doctor may also examine ear with otoscope . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , antiemetic along with antibiotics like gentamycin along with physical therapy or vestibular therapy . For now drink green tea thrice a day and avoid bending forward . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for migraine .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
