What Causes Tingling And Dizziness?
i had a small subdural hematoma 2 years ago (no surgery required). i had a couple seizures and the doctor put me on keppra. i ve been doing fairly well until recently. i have started to have tingling in my left 2 fingers and some dizziness. i drink moderaly and occasionally take an eleve for back pain and respiratory infections. do you think that the alcohol and aleve have caused more bleeding and as a result is why i m experiencing the tingling and dizziness?

hi
I am considering a different scenario
alchol consumption in long run can lead to peripheral neuropathy and since you are on anti seizure meds which has a documented side effect in form of peripheral neuropathy.
Both these may have increased each other side effect leading to tingling like symptoms.
Get your vitamins b12 and folate level checked.
good luck
