11 Weeks Postpartum, Vertigo, Headaches, Dizziness. Advise?
Hi Doctor, I am 11 weeks postpartum and i have been experiencing vertigo, headaches and dizziness for the past two weeks. I feel as if the floors are moving and getting ready to give under me. The rooms are constantly spinning and i feel as if i can feel the blood flow into my head. It is making me very anxious to the point where i am finding it hard to function. It is very scary!! I made an appointment with a neurologist but it is two weeks from today. Till then i am not sure what to do or if there is soemthing i can do to ease these symptoms until my appointment date. Please help!!

Hi,
Your symptoms are suggestive of vertigo.In view of headache central cause of vertigo should be ruled out.
If you were my patient here i would start betahistine .Consult with local doctor for prescription
