Hello. Thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern. It is good that your wife has almost recovered and her CT head is normal. For giddiness, there is no need to worry. For relief, you can follow few tips

: Ask her to take bed rest
: Ask her to drink 2.5 to 3 later fluids daily to maintain hydration
: Check her BP daily to rule out low BP. If her Systolic BP is below 80mm Hg, give her saline water.
: Ask her to avoid mental stress
: You can give her tablet Beta-histine or Cinnarizine after proper prescription. If still no relief, give her combination of Cinnarizine-Dimenhydrinate or increase dose of medication.

Hope it will help you. If still no relief, you should consult doctor.

Thanks. Take care.
