What Causes Headaches And Dizziness?

Hello. For the past few weeks I have been getting these headaches. They make me feel as if the whole room is spinning. I feel dizzy regularly and as if I were I a dream. When I move around to much I begin to get headaches to. I can't focus on anything either.

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

The headache and vertigo are your basic symptoms. The most common cause of this may be hypertension. In my experience these two symptoms may usually be present when a person has undetected high blood pressure (which may be very very high in view of untreated status of the blood pressure.

I would also consider ear problems like BPPV (positional vertigo, if the symptoms occur on bending your head. Alternatively, an impression of atypical migraine need also be considered.

The best option would be to get an MRI of the brain.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
