FROM THE INFO PROVIDED BY U U HAVE VERTIGO, HEAVINESS OF HEAD AND TINGLING OF HANDS.
THE COMMONEST TYPE OF VERTIGO IS BPPV(BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITIONAL VERTIGO) WHICH IS EASILY TREATABLE. U CAN TRY TAB BETA-HISTINE 16 MG TWICE A DAY FOR A WEEK. GET URSELF EVALUATED BY ENT SPECIALIST ALSO.
REGARDING HEAVINESS OF HEAD, I WANT A BIT MORE INFO.DO U ALSO HAVE SENSATION OF TIGHTNESS AROUND THE HEAD? A FEELING AS IF A BAND IS TIED TIGHTLY AROUND HEAD? DO U HAVE HEADACHE ALSO? DO THESE SYMPTOMS APPEAR IN AFTERNOON OR EVENING?
IF THE ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS IS YES, U MAY BE SUFFERING FROM TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE ALSO CALLED AS MUSCLE-CONTRACTION HEADACHE. AMITRIPTYLINE 10 MG AT NIGHT SLOWLY INCREASED TO 25 MG AT NIGHT WILL HELP IN MOST CASES. ALSO TRY RELAXATION EXERCISES TO TRAIN UR SCALP MUSCLES TO VOLUNTARILY RELAX.
3. TINGLING IN HANDS CAN BE CAUSED BY CALCIUM DEFICIENCY AND BY HYPOTHYROIDISM. GET SERUM CALCIUM LEVELS CHECKED ALONG WITH THYROID FUNCTION TESTS( T3, T4, TSH)
