What Is The Treatment For Vertigo And Dizziness?
hi, i woke to the house turning over with me on October 24, 2013 at 3 am. I had the same thing happening again at about 6 am. I visited a Dr. who said i had vertigo. i was given meds to assist with the dizziness and claritine. I had another episode of the place turning over with me on the Saturday of the same week. went to another Dr. who asked me to do some blood test and cholesterol test which turned out fine. i was given more sinus meds n told to watch for two weeks. it now 2 months and am still feeling like a zombie. i have not had that spinning over episode but i still feel off balance. wht could be wrong with me?
