Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if prolonged use of Rythmol cause dizziness. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like like ear infection , meniere's disease or low blood iron or sugar level . But in your case the symptoms are probably occur due to rythmol as its side effects . I would suggest you to consult doctor who prescribed you this medicine . Doctor may alter the dose or prescribe substitute . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for ear problem . For now avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
