Why Am I Feeling Dizziness After Having A Minor Stroke?
I had a minor stroke 4 years ago and have been feeling dizzy since then. I have been to my doctor who referr4ed me to a neurologist who referred me to an Opthalmalogist who in turn referred me to a neuro opthalmolotist and none of them could find a cause or cure for my dizziness. The original doctor did say that it could be due to one of the blood pressure meds I am taking. My symptoms became worse last week and ended up in emergencey where I was given a CT scan that came up normal according to the doctor on duty. His thought was maybe an inflammation caused the dizziness. He advised me to see my original doctor, but after 4 years with my dizziness, I am reluctant to see the doctor. Any thoughts on this?
