Hi,
To answer your first question,
Vertin is used usually for giddiness that is
Vertigo as we call.
The commonest cause for the suffering of your Father I can think is a problem with the middle and internal ear affecting a structure called semicircular canals. Inflammation or any change in pressure in these canals can cause giddiness.
Inability to sleep may be related to his
anxiety and stress. Other causes can be found out on clinical evaluation by your Doctor and ENT Surgeon.
Hence I would advise him the following:
Consult an ENT Surgeon for clinical evaluation, ENT
Endoscopy and further investigations related to Vertigo like CT and MRI of the mastoids and brain.
Tests of blood and urine.
All these will lead to a proper diagnosis and gives a plan of management
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
General Surgeon
