What Causes Lightheadedness Along With Motion Sickness?
Ive been feeling lightheaded for 3/4 days now constantly... even when i sit down i feel slight motion sickness from a dizzy feeling... ive not been excessivly drinking through the festive period and have eaten reasonably normal. What could be wrong?
Hello and welcome to HCM, Light-headedness, motion sickness and dizziness suggests involvement of inner ear. Inner ear is associated with maintenance of balance and equilibrium. Any abnormality of inner ear- trauma, infection, mass etc can lead to disturbance of balance and instability. Thus, consultation with an ENT specialist is required for clinical assessment and thus management. In the meanwhile, you can take anti-vertigo medication to control the symptoms of instability, dizziness and motion sickness.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
